In this theory, Naoroji elucidate the way in which the British is draining or eating up Indian wealth. For example, he says about the Cotton Sector in India. Raw Cotton is exported to England from India for almost free of cost. The English Mills reprocess this cotton into expensive textiles and then Imported back to India. At the end, it is Indians who has to pay through the nose.
