Why do you think Dadabhai Naoroji means by 'un-British rule in India' Class 8

Why do you think Dadabhai Naoroji means by 'un-British rule in India'? (Hint: he was an MP in the House of Commons in 1892) (Page 98) Class 8

Answer:

Dadabhai Naoroji shows that the British were not ailing India in a fair or just way. Britain claimed to follow democracy and justice at home, but in India, they were doing the opposite-taking away wealth, treating Indians unfairly and using India for their own benefit.

Even though Dadabhai was a Member of Parliament in Britain in 1892; he strongly spoke out against this. He proved that British rule made Indians poor and that this kind of rule was wrong and not what Britain claimed to stand for. So, he called it "un-British" because it went against British values like fairness and justice.
