Foreword Bharat has been a prosperous and employment-oriented economy of the world for almost 10,000 years. A proof of Bharat's economic prosperity has been documented in a report by Utsa Patnaik that the Britishers looted about 45 trillion dollars from Bharat, which is almost double the size of the present US economy (about 21 trillion dollars) during their 200 years of rule in Bharat. Even Bharat's current and former External Affairs Ministers S. Jaishankar and Shashi Tharoor have endorsed Patnaik's report. The foreign aggressions on Bharat had started as early as AD 712 with the sole objective of robbing the riches of the prosperous Bharat and its resources. Despite the 1,000 years of several foreign aggressions, there is enough evidence that Bhartiya economy continues to be vibrant and resilient. Gold, silver, diamonds, etc. worth over 1.75 lakh crore lying in the basement of the temple in Thiruvananthapuram are some of the facts. Similarly, the unbounded wealth of temples in other parts of the country, including wealth from the Golden Temple, Amritsar to Tirupati Balaji, is a proof of the fact that economic prosperity in Bharat had once been at its peak. Many current studies also confirm this.
