Before the arrival of the British, India was the wealthiest economy on earth, controlling 33% of the world's wealth. After the British attempted feudal plantation cash crop policy/program, famines and malnutrition ravaged the land, which caused much dissent amongst the locals. Also rumors of the new gun cartridges, issued by the British East India Company, ran rampant. After finding out that the cartridges were made of beef(insulting to hindus) and pork (insulting to muslims), the sepoy armies rebelled and using the Mughal Emperor as their movement "face", declared India independent.
