In general, our India was self – sufficient since ancient times. History is witness to this, that our country has been continuously attacked for centuries. The main reason for this was our prosperity. Before the British rule, in the 17th century, our share in global trade was between 25% to 35%. But during the estimated 300 years of British rule, we were not only physically / geographically enslaved, but by destroying our education system, we were engrossed by the pangs of mental slavery. Even after Independence its mental effect was seen / felt for more than half a century. Not only non-visionary but also the Indian National leadership who was having the foreign ideology were not able to give right direction to the citizen of India.
