Economic Motives of Orientalists to Sirah
Along with religious and political, there are also economic motives lying behind this movement. The Christian West, first of all, entered in the Islamic world in the guise of traders. They launched commercial companies in Islamic countries such as ‘East India Company’ in Sub-Continent. Slowly but gradually, they captured these countries in order to swallow their material resources. In the past, we can give an example of India that was called the golden sparrow. In the present, Iraq is presented as an example.
