As written by Malenbaum (1971), it is not surprising therefore that the conclusions on the public-private interplay in Indian economic life correspond with Nayar’s. Mostly business in politics is a record conflict. There are temporary adaptations but these are scarcely additive in their influence. They sum to limited achievement toward an
How would you live without technology, do you think it’s easy? Ever since technology became a very useful for people to communication, nowadays all people use different tip of technology like laptop, iPad, computer and mobile phone. But now people use technology for everything, such as studding, working, shopping and communicate with each other by WhatsApp, Snapchat and other Apps. Most of people prefer to use the mobile phone, because it have many apps that help the people if they are searching, make a call or take photo. However, there are several disadvantage in using mobile like brain cancer, poor sleep and it get neck pain and there is one advantage is communication with other.
In this essay I will be discussing the impact that the rule of the British Empire had on India’s development as a nation. I will be looking at how British imperial rule both benefitted and hindered the growth of India economically, socially, and culturally. To do this I will be looking at the beginning of the British Empire’s involvement in India, right up until India gained its independence from Britain on the 15th of August 1947. The purpose of this essay is to examine the long lasting effects of the British Empire on the Indian nation. India, like all colonies, was affected in many ways by the age of imperialism, and those effects are still evident today. The essay will look at both sides of the argument, allowing for positive and negative effects before finally concluding with a summary and re iteration of the points and arguments made throughout the essay. The essay will avoid taking sides, but rather the aim is to merely give an account of the positive and negative effects of British imperialism in India. The essay as previously mentioned will focus on the economic, cultural, and social effects.
Many people believe that in the 1940’s most of India’s problems involving independence was to do with divisions within India rather than British imperialism. In this essay I will be looking at both points of view and finally giving my opinion. I will be using three sources also to help me show both sides of the story. I will also be using my further knowledge to add a wider range of knowledge.
The British rule in India can be summarised in two facts which are “India’s per capita income went stagnant from 1757 to 1947” and “the life expectancy of Indians fell by 20 percent” (Davis, 2000). This shows that the British rule in India was not one in which India flourished but it deteriorated. The British brought about changes in all spheres of life. There brought about many social, cultural and economic changes however, this paper will only focus on the economic aspect of colonialism. The British tried to commercialise Indian agriculture and therefore, promoted cash crop farming. They forced farmers to move away from traditional and subsistence based farming and practice cash crop farming. This shift caused many farmers to suffer as they did not get much share in the profit even though the demand for cash crops like cotton and wheat was very high. The farmers fell into poverty and lived in terrible conditions whereas, the middle
Undeterred by oddities and abhorrence generated from within and outside, the railways has steamed ahead ceremoniously since its inception in 1853. It has completed a glorious 162 years, enjoyed the best and worst times during its long history starting with the British Colonoial Raj to the present. Through history, the railways have been deemed a ‘calamity’ and a ‘boon’. Romesh Chandra Dutta, critic of the British Raj in Indian, described the railways as ‘wasteful expenditure’ and a ‘hazardous and dangerous venture’. Karl Marx wrote: “I known that the English sultocracy intends to endow India with the railways with the exclusive view of extracting at diminished expense the cotton and other raw materials for their manufacturers.” However, the railways were also regarded as a preventive measure against famines and the only affordable means of transport available for the masses. Lord Dalhousie fully supported the railway project and suggested that any loss incurred would be cheerfully borne by the British government.
In 2015 India was ranked among the highest countries globally in consumer confidence, this comes after the International Monetary Fund estimated an economic growth of up to 7% annually for the next decade in India. But this hasn 't always been the case, in fact, it wasn 't so long ago that India was simply another colonized nation around the world, not to mention it 's usually rare to see this kind of economic growth in such a small period of time. The Effects of globalization, with an emphasis on open trade networks, and the Imperial developments of the late 19th century have led to the emergence and rise of India 's market-based economy. This growth has been affected in a very positive way over a span of centuries by a combination of stronger economic developments brought about by a massive increase in the countries labor force and the emphasis on education and self-governance. An exposure to both the Western economic systems during the imperial age until their independence in 1947 and their subsequent involvement in the Asian, Middle Eastern and African trade routes from the late 15th century placed India in an economic equilibrium where they were able to benefit from both worlds and become one of the fastest growing economies.
‘The centre of gravity in information technology has shifted away from the desktop and laptop computer and into the palm of your hands’ (Schwartz, 2010).
It would be worthy to note that, affordability is relative because what one person regards as affordable expenditure on mobile device services may be different from another person (Pegrum, 2014). Despite the cost, Indigenous people are rapidly embracing mobile technology and they manage cost by choosing pre-paid options over monthly plans, sharing devices with family members, and a whole range of other cost management strategies (F. Brady & Dyson, 2016). In addition, irrespective of no network coverage, mobile ownership will enable Indigenous people enjoy the other features of their phone (Dyson, 2016). Mobile technology is continually been accepted by Indigenous peoples and more Indigenous people have access to mobile phones than any other digital technology, and this has implications for traditional modes of health information dissemination. Since places with poor communications and infrastructure often acts as a key socio-economic and technology delimiter(F. Brady & Dyson, 2016) and there is a very high rate of mobile phone adoption in Indigenous communities even by people with less than average income (Fiona Brady et al., 2008), it is ethical and just to bring the social, health, educational, economic, and political development benefits of digital technologies to underserved populations (Pegrum, 2014). Mobile technologies will offer the means for social and economic renewal and acts as enablers of services that were previously unavailable such as education and health services via mHealth particularly in remote communities.
India’s path to the modern world differed from that of most countries. They had a much harder time reaching the democratic positions of countries such as Britain and Japan for multiple reasons. These reasons included the traditional frame of mind which persisted into the 19th century, and to a degree still persists nowadays. Another difference between India’s path and Britain or Japan’s path to the modern world is the role imperialism has played in India’s economics and politics. The final aspect that separates India from Britain and Japan is the role that the peasants played in this transition. All of these aspects played a part in India’s road to the modern world, and each one plays a role in the type of modern society which India has today.
Britain, at the time, was a growing nation in possession of the techniques, organization, and energy which would enable her to become a world power. She was in the midst of a political, social and economical transformation. Britain’s transformation was of great importance to the development of new attitudes towards India.
The British East Indian Company or East Indian Company took place during the early 1600’s all the way through the mid 1860’s. With the thought of money and control on Queen Elizabeth’s mind she had to find new items to trade and someone who is willing to trade with them so Europe could be successful. However in this age, Europe has seen its “collapse of empires and the state’s economics might, and such interpretations of English Overseas expansion are now considered inadequate” (Lawson, 15), and so many of the successful companies are a little concerned if they should do business. A former writer by the name of Richard Hakluyt didn’t see this as a stopping point. He “ believed that England’s future survival and greatness as a nation lie in the developing of a colonial and trading empire overseas” (Lawson 13). Hakluyt saw this as an opportunity and decided to
Moreover, many of the deeper rooted problems of the Indian economy in the early nineties
The colonization of India and the immense transfer of wealth that moved from the latter to Britain were vital to the success of the British Empire. In fact, the Viceroy of British India in 1894 called India “the pivot of our Empire …” I examine the effects of the Industrial Revolution on the subcontinent. Besides highlighting the fact that without cheap labor and raw materials from India, the modernization of Britain during this era would have been highly unlikely, I will show how colonial policy led to the privation and death of millions of natives. I conclude that while India undoubtedly benefited from British colonial rule, the negatives for the subject population far outweighed the positives.
The country of India has been home to some of the brightest and most influential people to ever walk this planet. However, they are still an ever evolving and developing country finding its footing in establishing themselves as a global power as well as developing internally. Many domestic problem exist, having grown and evolved from the foundation of India. Their issues consist of gender inequality, religious intolerance, economics, international relations, as well as corruption. Those are only some of the many problems which they face. As with many developing countries, India has a predominant issue when it comes to poverty. In August of 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister, wrote the national document, “A Tryst with Destiny”. In the document he states, “The future beckons to us. Whither do we go and what shall be our endeavor?...to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity...which will ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman.” To put the idea in perspective, it was written sixty-eight years ago at a transitional point in the countries history when they were granted freedom and independence from the oppressive rule of Great Britain. In this address, Nehru set forth his rule with many lofty goals that have yet to come to fruition. While it can’t have been expected that all these goal would be fulfilled, Nehru showed the country where they need to go in order to prosper into a great nation. This was
