Valley civilization, a
permanent settlement that
flourished between 2800 BC
and 1800 BC, practiced
agriculture, domesticated
animals, used uniform weights
and measures, made tools and
weapons, and traded with
other cities. Evidence of well-
planned streets, a drainage
system and water supply
reveals their knowledge
of urban planning, which
included the world's first
urban sanitation systems and
the existence of a form of
municipal government.
11. Maritime trade was carried out extensively between south
INDIA and southeast and west Asia until around the fourteenth century AD.
Maritime overseas trade came to an end by the thirteenth century ad, when it
was largely taken over by the local Parsi, Jewish And Muslim communities, initially
on the Malabar and subsequently on the Coromandel coast.
The Atashgah temple built by the Baku-resident traders from India suggests
commerce was active and prosperous for Indians by the 17th century.
India's pre-colonial economy is mostly qualitative, owing to the lack of
quantitative information.
The Mughal economy functioned on an elaborate system of coined currency, land
revenue and trade.
Loss at the THIRD BATTLE OF PANIPAT, the Maratha empire disintegrated into
several confederate states, and the resulting political instability and armed conflict
severely affected economic life in several parts of the country.
By the end of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company entered the
Indian political theatre and established its dominance over other European
powers.
Later led to a determinative shift in India's trade, and a less powerful impact.

an upward trend.

colonial policies of the British, led to a massive drain of revenue rather

15. The second world war, saw the development and dispersal of
industries, encouraging rural-urban migration, and in particular the
large port cities of Bombay, Calcutta and Madras grew rapidly.
Right-wing historians have countered
that India's low economic performance
was due to various sectors being in
a state of growth and decline
due to changes brought in by colonialism
and a world that was moving towards
Industrialization and Economic Integration

17. Indian Economic Policy after independence was influenced by
the colonial experience.
5 Year Plans of India resembled central planning in the Soviet
Union. Steel, mining, machine tools, telecommunications,
insurance, and power plants, among other industries, were
effectively nationalized in the mid-1950s.
The rate of growth of the Indian economy in the first three
decades after independence was derisively referred to as
the Hindu rate of growth by economists, because of the
unfavorable comparison with growth rates in other Asian
countries.
Since 1965, the use of high-yielding variety of seed, increased
fertilizers and improved irrigation facilities, contributed to Green
Revolution in India.

Manmohan Singh, initiated the economic liberalization of 1991.

public monopolies, allowing automatic approval of foreign direct
investment in many sectors.
By the turn of the 20th century, India had progressed towards a free-
market economy, with a substantial reduction in state control of the
economy and increased financial liberalization.
In 2003, Goldman Sachs predicted that India's GDP in current prices
would overtake France and Italy by 2020, Germany, UK and Russia by
2025 and Japan by 2035, making it the third largest economy of the world,
behind the US and China.
India is often seen by most economists as a rising economic superpower
and is believed to play a major role in the global economy in the 21st
century.
