| Abstract: | Imperial policy by its very nature was not conducive to the growth of an industrialized state. This paper shows how an indigenous enterprise, Bengal Chemical Pharmaceutical Works (BCPW) battled against incredible odds to remain an operative and profit making enterprise in colonial India. The company time and again came to the assistance of the government in hour of crisis, but, government policy was continuously hostile to its growth . Despite official antipathy, BCPW managed to prosper, although its potentials could not be optimised. Its growth curve could never reach the spectacular heights as that is possible only in a free industrial climate. Born in a colonial economy, colonial industry by its very nature could never attain the supremacy of a world leader. |
