In pre-independence India, who among the following first discussed the concept of the poverty line in his book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India?
Dadabhai Naoroji
Dadabhai Naoroji, known as the Grand Old Man of India, was an early nationalist who studied the economic impact of colonial rule.
In his book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India he first discussed the concept of a poverty line and put forward the drain of wealth theory, arguing that British policies were draining India's resources to Britain.
Jawaharlal Nehru, Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi did not author this particular work, so they are not the correct answer.
Hence, the concept of the poverty line was first discussed by Dadabhai Naoroji.
