''The transfer of resources and wealth from India to England without providing "any equivalent return" which began in the second half of the eighteenth century had been christened by Indian "'non-practicing"' economists like Dadabhai Naoroji, M. G. Ranade, R. C. Dutt as the "economic drain". The drain theory "which Indian thinkers made their own" was as old as Rammohun Roy, through Naoroji and others it came to Gandhi.

The theory of the economic drain of India during British imperialism was primarily propounded by Dadabhai Naoroji, an Indian intellectual, educator, and early leader in the Indian independence movement. Naoroji's work, particularly his book "Poverty and Un-British Rule in India, " published in 1901, extensively argued how British colonial policies led to the economic exploitation and impoverishment of India.

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.

The correct answer is Dada Bhai Naoroji as in his book the ancient India and Britishers he has written about the economic drain during mid 17 s, the main reason of this was to encourage the people of that time to raise voice against British rule as he was also one of the followers of the path of dignity at that time his father made a contribution to his motherland.

The acknowledged high priest of the drain theory was Dadabhai Naoroji. It was in may 1867 that Dadabhai Naoroji put forward the idea that Britain was draining India. From then on for nearly half a century he launched a raging campaign against the drain, hammering at the theme through every possible form of public communication.

Naoroji is credited with the founding of the Indian National Congress, along with A.O. Hume and Dinshaw Edulji Wacha. His book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India brought attention to the draining of India's wealth into Britain. He was also member of Second International along with Kautsky and Plekhanov.
