India's Relation with Neighbouring Countries

India and the United States of America are two of the world’s largest and prominent democracies. In the past few decades, they have conquered a significant progress in development and globalization. The geographical setting of the two countries is no more a barrier and the credit goes to the perpetually evolving technology which has abridged the factor of distance greatly,

Politically speaking the Indians have no say in anything because of what the British had in mind for what they were wanting to do. The indians had went with having no power, and not having control over their own taxation.. In document 1 (Mohandas Gandhi on Imperialism) it says how the Indians how no power which was true. Stating “ you have given us no responsibility for our own government.” And that is saying that the British had took full control over the Indians. The british had tried and taking control and they knew that the ways that they were going to do it and continue doing what they were doing and they wanted to make sure that they were going to win. As for document 2( The government under the British rule) the Indians don’t have any control whatsoever for their taxation, and also

Britain had a desire to have a more economic, political, and social influence over India. Even though the British never preserved a notable military existence in India, they were able to maintain political control. Many changes were made, which benefitted India, but there were also some changes, which contributed to its deterioration. Despite the negative impacts Britain left on India, imperialism is best understood as a strong country extending its authority, in order to increase its wealth, by bringing more of the world under its control, because Britain helped in the development of India from a nation-state, to a unified country, which is modernly the world’s largest democracy.

British imperialism had a negative impact on the politics of india because of how the government rules were created and who they were created by, and the army and what they used the army for. Lalvani claims that the British established the framework for india's justice system, civil sysytem, army and efficient political force (Lalvani). Yes, British did help establish the framework but, they only aloud 60 indians and 900 british to government India, which means only 6% of the government was controlled by indians (Doc #4). While the british controlled India, the Indians never learned how to govern themselves, while the British only created laws that benefited themselfs. In addition to that, Lalvani claims that the British help create the indian

Did you know that the British laid the foundations of modern-day India? This was one of the few positive acts the British made towards India. Many of the acts Britain made towards India benefited themselves not the Indians. You may be thinking that the British did a great thing by creating infrastructure in India, however, they created numerous complications in the government, economics, and socialism of India resulting in death among several millions of innocent civilians.

Britain added 22 more civil bases but 900 of the 960 were in control by white men who had no real interest in the betterment and well-being of India (Lalvani, Doc 1). In 100 years, Indians were never really given a chance to make their own government and became dependent on the over controlling British rule (Doc 1).

Brittan ruled over India calling it the British raj which is the Hindu word for empire. Through the peaceful nonviolent protest of the Indian people led by Mohandas K Gandhi India won its independence in 1947. Brian divided the country into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. Buddhist monks fleeing Tibet in 800 AD. Were the first recorded ruling elite in the region of Bhutan. The lama or highest level of monks rule. Bhutan has largely been an isolationist country. Today Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy and held its first elections in 2008. Modern Nepal was founded in 1769, with the Narayan dynasty which isolated the country from the world. Nepal 's

When Britain wormed their way into controlling India, Indians had no say or voice in this conquest. While Britain made it appear as if they were helping India by westernizing and administering them, they were actually stripping India of natural resources, safe life for civilians, and a access to a loyal army. Britain considered India to be extremely beneficial on account of their plentiful resources, and huge population. By controlling India, Britain would receive great profit and it was extremely simple to take over because India had no power. After the East India Company took over, a government organization that was indirectly ruled by Britain Indians lost control of their country. The resources in India were required by Britain because of the mass amount of machinery in Britain used for the new and growing, industrial revolution. Although Britain may

India and China are two republics that have experienced very opposing political regimes throughout history. China has been fundamentally stable country with a lack of a distinct authority figure (Desai, 2003). Being a single party state China has been controlled by the Chinese Communist Party since the 5th National Congress held in 1927 (Wang, 2013). Correspondingly India, have always been a federal parliamentary democratic republic where the President of India elected is head of state and the Prime Minister elected is the head of government (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 2013). This

India was controlled by Britain and was one of their most successful colonies. After World War 2 this region went through a decolonization process and eventually gaining statehood and freedom from colonial status for India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. During this time the French and British lost most of their controlled territory. It all began with India, in this movement for independence.

Q6. India is a large and prosperous nation in Asia, they are also a nation of which who has the largest and most influential democracy. India prospers and thrives when it comes to their political and economic stances. Previously, we had learned the India was the jewel in the crown for the country of England. England had obtained control over India for a long period of time making India one of their best and most profitable colonies. Therefore, their political and economic success would be very crucial when it comes to the future of democracy in Asia. During this time in the world, democracy and communism were battling, trying to prove which one was better. The Soviet Union along with the East argued that communism was the way to go; on the

Also, after joining together Arif states that during the 1850’s China and India joined together to form alliances and that ‘’It was due to the synergy between the cultures of India and China that the nationalists and revolutionaries of India and China developed deep mutual contact that turned into friendship amidst their anti-imperialist struggle’’. 8 This reinstates the collaboration agreement between these two empires goes back as for the 18th century.

As mentioned previously, the two states have very different beliefs and perceptions of how the Tibet history should be with regard to which state it belongs to. Furthermore, the conflict escalated due to the involvement from Western countries (Davis 2009). This is considered as the ethnic and religious conflict as the Han Chinese view the minority groups negatively. The majority of the Tibetans are Buddhists and the Chinese government has been often shown to persecute religious groups (Stokes 2010). The history of conflict between China, Great Britain, and India has resulted in fighting for the ownership of Tibet and relatively underdeveloped technology with lack of participation in large international conferences (Stokes 2010). It is important for China to acquire Tibet, which is located on the border for security purposes. Tibetans also reported dissatisfaction for the increasing number of Han Chinese as the improvement seen in Tibet were the result of newly imposed taxes to restrict their political, religious and cultural identities (Davis 2009). The conflict opinion with the Chinese government where they stated that the economic growth and opportunities they brought over to Tibet is significantly greater than the political restraints. There is also significant disparities and conflicts between the groups in both Tibet and China where

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

India is the biggest democracy in the world, with a government type of federal republic. The country’s form of government mimics the United States with its federal structure. The federal government consists of executive, legislative, and judicial branches. In addition, India has adopted the a British style parliamentary system that allows for it its central government to have great power in relation to its states, according to US Department of State- Background Notes website (The Office of Electronic
