Who among the following leaders did not believe in the Drain Theory of Dadabhai Naoroji?
- B.G. Tilak
- R.C. Dutt
- M.G. Ranade
- Sir Syed Ahmed Khan
Explanation

- Sir Syed Ahmad Khan did not accept Dadabhai Naoroji’s Drain Theory. Like many early nineteenth-century intellectuals, he regarded British rule as a modernising and reformist force and therefore did not support Naoroji’s economic critique of colonial exploitation.
