Advantages And Disadvantages Of Tncs In India

Throughout the years many historians have compilated and examined why Indian people were so desperate to gain back their independence from the British Empire during their rule over India, from 1612 to 1947. The reasoning can most definitely be found as the British discriminated against Indian people as they believe that they were inferior; it is no surprise that Indian people fought so hard for their independence. Throughout the British Raj, they placed and put forward unbelievably racist acts and laws which discriminated against Indian people. Which of course led to Indians to rebel against the British rule and which the British reacted with causing massacres. Explaining the nationalistic many India’s felt during the British Raj.

Historically, India was under British rule until 1950. Many people in India felt that during British rule they were powerless (Beteille, 2010). All of the problems in the country were blamed on this helplessness (Beteille, 2010). When India became independent and developed its own constitution, a large amount of emphasis was placed on the role of government in solving social problems (Beteille, 2010). During British rule, many customs and practices in India were based on the Hindu religion (Beteille, 2010). The British left those in place, neither making them unlawful nor supporting them (Beteille, 2010). When the new government was established, the caste system that had so sharply defined India was declared unlawful (Beteille, 2010). While this was a step in the

During the 1990s, a vast amount of Indian technology workers migrated to Silicon Valley, California. While India suffered a major brain drain, these

On the other hand, India has spent a majority of its history as a colony of England. It was not until 1947 that India became an independent nation state, after a grassroots nationalist movement started by Gandhi, and even then they were a one party congress. They are also an interesting case of democracy because of how many unfavorable aspects towards it they had, such as high inequality, many peasants, and many different languages and religions (Lecture). In 1956, India was broken up into states by the States Reorganization Act, that made state lines based on linguistic group. India’s founding leaders mirrored the ideas of America, in balancing states rights with a central government (Sil, 2014). They have also more recently gone through a liberalization of their economy. India is unique in the way that their social hierarchy is constructed because of the fact that they have a caste system. The caste system is a combination of religious practice and community organization that is a part of Hinduism (Sil, 2014). This system was officially demolished in the country, but in the country it is still very prevalent, and the focus on helping those who were in lower castes succeed has made people more aware of the way they institute social policies.

This paper will talk about the impact of British colonial conquest on India’s economy while lightly touch on the pre-colonial economic conditions as well. Colonialism refers to a process of control and domination where one country dominates the other. It is the control on the social, economic, and political policies of the colony countries (Emerson, 1969). Many European countries starting colonising other nations in order to gain raw materials, wealth, power and to spread their mission of civilization. The British controlled parts of India first through company rule 1757-1858 and later through the British raj from 1858-1947.

The Indian Independence movement started in 1857. At time of the movement, India had been under British control for many years. India never had political freedom, so while they were under British colonization, they were becoming poor as the British were gaining wealth. Indians were being taxed and treated unfairly. Mohandas Gandhi was the most important leader of India’s independence movement. Gandhi made his people realize that they can be self-reliant and stop paying the British government to oppress them. He showed India that they can have economic independence. Gandhi practiced Hinduism and they believe in peace and equality. In Joseph Prabhu’s “Gandhi’s Economics of Peace”, he says “The single most valuable idea of Gandhi was village reconstruction and his stress on the self -sufficient, relatively nonindustrialized, “natural” rural life characterized by compulsory bread labor for all, handicrafts, and simple market and distribution structures. Gandhi saw this as the best answer to the steep unemployment, illiteracy, and powerlessness of the village poor, exploited both from within by rural landlords and from without by urban interests plundering their natural resources.” (Prabhu). Gandhi united his people and pushed them to use self-contained resources. After many non-violent protests and marches, Gandhi and the people of India were able to

Further evidence shows that more British involvement over the course of two centuries made nearly all aspects of Indian society weaker overall. Areas that experienced direct British rule have significantly lower levels of access to education, roads, and healthcare in the postcolonial period, thereby demonstrating that the quality of governance during Britain’s imperial rule in India had a significant effect on the country after becoming an independent nation in 1947 (Fisher).

This essay will focus on the decolonisation of India by the British Empire and the problems they encountered. It will also aim to bring recognition to the struggle decolonisation brought upon the world after World War II. Pierce states that “after the War concluded, a worldwide process of decolonisation commenced in which Britain granted independence to all of its major colonies, beginning notably in India” (Pierce, 2009). India had struggled with uprisings and conflicts for the many years of British occupation but when Gandhi began sharing his social efforts; the perceptions of colonialism began to change leading to the collapse of the British colonial Empire. Gandhi began changing the lives of regular Indian’s with his popular visions, he also advocated for the people of India in a non-violent

Throughout our history, imigration was one of the main driving forces for improvement,creativity and exploration of various cultures, it resulted in ethnical diversity ,expanded business fields to the rest of the world and shaped our society.However, nowadays it has turned into a complex subject and a frequent concern,since many people regard emigration as a negative factor.It is considered to be a loss for the country ,a so called “brain drain“ .On the other hand, both emigration and immigrants can bring a lot of positivity to the lives of younger people:strengthen the economy, stabilize cultural diversity, and expand collective intelligence.

On August 15, 1947, India gained it’s independence from the British rule and became its own nation. Several different factors played into the independence from british rule. But the Indian independence movement was much different than normal revolutions that have happened in history, the independence became one of the only successful non-violent revolutions in the history of the world. Although their independence was non-violent in the end, it was not always that way. In the 1800s multiple revolutionaries tried to revolt against the British using violent tactics but in the end they always failed

A TNC (transnational corporation) is a company that operates in no less than two countries and has a global outlook. TNCs have a long history going back to the 16th Century in terms of trade such as spices, but it’s not until C. 1945 that companies started to form acquisitions and mergers. The one key reason why these businesses have been so successful in their area of expertise globally is because they can take advantage of spatial differences in the factors of production worldwide. They are able to exploit differences in the availability of capital, labour costs and land cost, which we as a world have seen, especially in far-east

Liberal and democratic aspects of British colonialism in India played a significant role in leading to a democratic South Asia following Indian independence in 1947. Yet, the British -- first through the East India Company and then through direct government control -- held almost all of the political and economic power in India during the Empire’s expansion and apogee, guaranteeing the Indian economy could not evolve and/or function independent of the ruling power’s control; ensuring raw materials extracted from Indian soil would go towards British manufacturing industries mostly without profiting the vast majority of Indians; and leading to lives of privation for millions of indigenous subjects. Although there have been arguments made that, in political and

The fact of the matter is that a considerable amount of immigrants come here for higher education. “Half the Americans who won Nobel Prizes were born abroad. More than half of the people with PhDs working in America are immigrants.”(The Economist, 2006) These people find themselves in corporate giants like Sun Microsystems, Google, and Intel. When countries like China, actively try to attract back its ‘expats’ through various strategies, this brings the scenario of the “brain drain” to life. However, America has downplayed this fear. McKinsey Global Institute conducted a study of the off-shoring market and concluded that the number of service jobs moving offshore is much lower than expected. It was feared that jobs in services will follow manufacturing jobs that are now in the developing countries. Although competing

Let’s see the political scenario of the country after independence; it will answer some part of our question. After independence in 1947 people have great expectation from the indigenous government, it was assumed that the new government which was more aware of the Indian problems and was equally concerned for the people would definitely seek to eradicate all problems, with the installation of new government under the leadership of Nehru , with the observations of industrializations raised hopes but the government policies were only for industrialization without looking the environment and equal sharing of natural resources.
