Who among the following stated in 1902, India was not ruled for its benefit, but rather for the benefit of its conquerors?

The correct answer is Annie Besant.

Annie Besant was a prominent British socialist, theosophist, women's rights activist, writer, orator, and supporter of both Irish and Indian self-rule. In 1902, she stated that India was not ruled for the benefit of its own people, but rather to serve the economic and political interests of its British conquerors.

She later joined the Indian National Congress and became its first female President in 1917, playing a pivotal role in the Indian independence movement by launching the Home Rule League.
