Classic error of interpreting size of GDP with "richness". Per capita GDP matters and on Maddison's scale, every country, including India, was poor in the pre-modern world. Share of world GDP is a proxy of share of world population in Maddison's framework for that time period! https://t.co/kBQIbISSHF
