Question:

Dadabhai Naoroji's 'drain of wealth' thesis cited 'Home Charges' as a major component of the economic drain. Which of the following was NOT a component of Home Charges? / दादाभाई नौरोजी के 'धन-निष्कासन' सिद्धांत में 'होम चार्जेज' को आर्थिक निष्कासन का प्रमुख घटक बताया गया। निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा होम चार्जेज का घटक नहीं था?

1.
Salaries of Indian sepoys serving within India
2.
Interest on public debt raised in England
3.
Pensions and furlough allowances of British officials paid in England
4.
Expenses of the India Office establishment in London

Correct Answer: Salaries of Indian sepoys serving within India

Correct — Home Charges were payments made in England (debt interest, pensions, India Office costs, military stores purchased in Britain); salaries of sepoys serving in India were paid from Indian revenues in India, not remitted to Britain. Distractor (b) is a genuine Home Charge and the largest single item, so students often misclassify the in-India salary item. / सही उत्तर — होम चार्जेज इंग्लैंड में किए गए भुगतान थे (ऋण ब्याज, पेंशन, इंडिया ऑफिस व्यय); भारत में सेवारत सिपाहियों का वेतन भारत में ही भारतीय राजस्व से दिया जाता था, ब्रिटेन नहीं भेजा जाता था। विकल्प (b) वास्तविक होम चार्ज और सबसे बड़ी मद है।
