based on angus maddison's work. and i think maddison is still underplaying india's role as he is extremely laudatory of china in his paper. he doesn't think that much of india, yet his own data show that he should.

i thought you mentioned a few times that bengal and tamilnadu accounted for around 25% of world gdp in 1750 and britain's was 2% at that time. by 1850, the roles were reversed. i am curious to know the source of this information.
