India is an agriculture country from ancient times.

In olden times Indian economy was self sufficient this means that Indian villages were not dependant on outside world or other villages.
All the villages were self sufficient.

Before the formation of India, this land was divided into many kingdoms, and no one ever thought that time about the formation of India, the one nation.

Ancient India saw many kings who won nearly all the kingdoms for a certain period.
But they never intended to form the one nation, it was just expansion of there kingdom to show other kings that who is more powerful.
Ancient India used the Barter system, but many kings even made gold coins and silver coins also.
Gupta dynasty used minted the silver coins in AD 414-55.
This Gupta dynasty period was 280 to 550 AD.
This was the Golden period of ancient India
Villagers paid revenue to the kings and other villagers exchanged there produce and skills and services.
Trade in kind and goods, exchange of goods can be said as a barter system.
E.g. craftsmen received a part of the crops at harvest time for their services to farmers.
Because of caste system, every one knew what he has to do in his future life.
There training started in that profession from their birth.

Important Note –

In this era agricultural products such as pepper, cinnamon, opium and indigo were exported to Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia in return for gold and silver.

In this era and period in present language I will say one dollar or one euro was equal to one rupee. Further more if someone says ancient Indian rupee was more powerful in ancient times than pound or dollar is also true.

I tried to get more information about ancient financial India but there is no information available.
But its accepted fact by the British people that
Revenue of Akbar's Mughal Empire in 1600 at £17.5 million, in contrast with the total revenue of Great Britain in 1800, which totaled £16 million.

This fact is enough to let us know and understand that in the year 1600 or 1800 also
Indian rupee was equal to one euro or one pound or one dollar.

It is the duty of every king or every employee, every human to see that his company, his home, his country makes progress.

With this view British Raj started there planning and worked towards that end.
The economic policies of the British Raj effectively bankrupted India's large handicrafts industry and caused a massive drain of India's resources
This was because of vast gains made by the Industrial revolution in Europe, the effects of which was deprived to Colonial India.

In the year 1948 also one rupee was equal to one pound or one dollar. 

Historian Angus Maddison reveals that India's share of the world income fell from 22.6% in 1700, comparable to Europe's share of 23.3%, to a low of 3.8% in 1952.

I wanted to say so in this way we can see that many rulers, kings ruled the India,
But no one made us beggar.
Our own politicians and leaders made us poor and beggars.

India inherited several institutions, such as the civil services, Reserve Bank of India, railways, etc., from its British rulers.

The RBI, the country's central bank was established on April 1, 1935. It serves as the nation's monetary authority, regulator and supervisor of the financial system, manager of exchange control and as an issuer of currency.

The RBI is governed by a central board, headed by a governor who is appointed by the Central government of India.
But we Indians became world beggars after the British people left India and we became independent.
The reason was that wrong policies used by our political kings.

So whenever you start to blame the British rule that they made us beggars
Remember that our own political kings and politicians made us beggar.
With their wrong policies, selfish motives and corruption.

Upto the year 1952,India had never taken any loans from the world Bank or any other nation.

First time after our Independence our Indian political leadership took the loan, without working towards the repayment of these loans our politicians are taking more and more loans from the World Bank and other nations.

On the name of progress Indian leaders and politicians took loans from World Bank and other nations and today situation is that

India has to take the loan to pay the interest of that loan not the original loan amount.
 
We Indians and media is so ashamed that when our political leaders beg to World Bank for loans and when we get the loans our political leaders and we all celebrate it proudly.
Around the year 1952 first time we took the loan and our Indian rupee lost its value.
Dollar and Pound become more powerful.

To get one Dollar we have to pay 7 Indian rupees that time.

Now today in the year 2009 one dollar is equal to 49 to 50 Indian rupees.

One pound is equal to 70 to 80 Indian rupees.

One euro is equal to 50 to 60 Indian rupees.

Today also you can see that no political party in India has thought on how to make repayment of Indian loans.No Indian political party has will to work towards this aim.

UPDATE-

Example-

Suppose the price of one mango is 25 Indian Rupees.
So when you sell this one mango in international market,
We should get 25 dollars for one mango, 

But in reality, because of this loan and inequality of this exchange rate,
50 Indian rupees equal to one dollar
We do not get 25 dollars for one mango 

But we have to sell 2 mangoes at the price of One dollar.

So our total loss is 24 dollars for every one mango which we sell to outside world.
This is the loss of only one mango, 

Loss of 24 dollars on every mango which we sell in the international market.
This is happening from the year 1952, in our country, just imagine the amount
Which we are losing every year because of this loans which we take from World Bank
Now just add the products which we sell to outside world
Rice, Banana etc.
And try to calculate the loss how much we are suffering 

India was never a beggar country, British Ruled us and took unlimited money from India to there country but do not forget they were outsiders; they never came here to do social service. They came, They Ruled and They Took for there own land and people.

But when British Rulers left India that day and next 1 or 2 or 3 years also Dollar was equal to Indian rupee. By taking loan in the year 1952 and without repaying that loan our politicians started to take loans after loans which helped the increase in the exchange rate of dollar and pound 

But our political leaders failed to repay the international loans making us more and more beggar.

So I strongly feel British Rulers did not made us beggar but
Our own political leaders made us beggar.

When we will see the day when One Indian rupee will be equal to one dollar.
