India is all set to celebrate its 69th independence day on this August 15. Most of us connect Independence Day with the massive freedom struggle and the subsequent but tragic partition. But hardly, any of us remember the economic scenario of British India. The pre-independence era was the beginning of modern India—with railways being laid and the businesses expanding their horizons.
