Introduction is not clear.
In the body, content is decent.. But colonial impact on economy can be divided in 4 stages-
1st- competition with other European powers for trade, balance of trade on India’s favour
2nd- after battle of Buxar, diwani rights to British, beginning of drain of wealth, high land revenue collected by British was used to buy Indian goods and export them
3rd- company monopoly after charter acts, laissez fare in England, exported raw materials, imported industrial goods, free trade largely in favour of Britain
4th- investments made in India but contracts given to British capitalists, profits made were sent back to Britain
You can expand your answer on the above lines.
Impact part is fine, conclusion is okay, it can be mentioned that India’s share in the world economy fell from 23% when the British arrived to 4% when they left.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Nice attempt.
Introduction is good. Overall the answer is content rich.
The first point in the body can be divided into two stages-
1st- competition with other European powers for trade, balance of trade on India’s favour
2nd- after battle of Buxar, diwani rights to British, beginning of drain of wealth, high land revenue collected by British was used to buy Indian goods and export them
Next two stages are fine.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Hello
Introduction is fine.
In the body, you have started off well.. First 2-3 points are good, but after that, you go on to talk about political consolidation.. But question is about economic impact of colonialism..
These 4 stages should be mentioned-
1st- competition with other European powers for trade, balance of trade on India’s favour
2nd- after battle of Buxar, diwani rights to British, beginning of drain of wealth, high land revenue collected by British was used to buy Indian goods and export them
3rd- company monopoly after charter acts, laissez fare in England, exported raw materials, imported industrial goods, free trade largely in favour of Britain
4th- investments made in India but contracts given to British capitalists, profits made were sent back to Britain
Expand the answer in these points itself for giving it a proper structure.
Keep the conclusion part short.
Keep practicing. 🙂
