Overview / Findings / Silences
No board offers an economic critique of colonialism — or the opposing case
No drain of wealth, no famine, no de-industrialisation; and equally no British-modernisation counter-narrative. The colonial economy is simply not a topic.
There is no drain of wealth, no famine, no de-industrialisation anywhere in the corpus — and, just as notably, no British-modernisation counter-narrative either: no railways-and-canals case, no rule-of-law case. Colonial rule is present throughout as a political and constitutional story, and absent entirely as an economic one. Both the nationalist and the imperial economic arguments are missing together, which suggests the topic was never on the syllabus rather than that a side was taken.
What this rests on
This finding is not a reading of one passage. It is a property of the corpus as a whole, computed from a corpus-wide search of the colonial-economy vocabulary. There is no single page to quote, which is why none is quoted here.

Confidence reflects the evidence tier this rests on. High means native or English-medium text verified by exact string match; medium means it depends partly on Urdu-medium material read at theme grade, or on an absence. See the method.

Cite this finding
Two citations are appropriate here, not one. The line above cites this finding. If you are quoting the textbook passage itself, cite the book — its full bibliographic record, edition and approval reference is on its own page, linked from each evidence entry above — and say that you found it here.
Challenge this finding
This is a claim about a printed book, so it is checkable, and it should be checked. If the citation is wrong, the edition is misidentified, the passage is quoted unfairly, or the finding does not survive its own evidence, that is worth reporting and it will be acted on whether or not the correction is convenient for the argument. Corrections are logged publicly in the corrections log; this applies fully to the boards themselves.
