A question often contemplated, but never concluded: Is the effective rule of an alien power bette that the mismanaged one of your own? This was the case for the people of India during British colonial rule. India was the largest and most significant colony that was controlled at the height of the British Empire. Because of its vast quantities of cotton, tea and indigo, the British East India Company began to take over Indian cities in 1757, essentially establishing a monopoly over trade. When British

In Colonialism and Forms of Knowledge, Bernard Cohn argues that knowledge and power help the British control India using language. He analyzes different forms of “investigated modalities” that England constructed to justify their actions in India; in particular, these modalities produced knowledge in the form of official written documents, reports, and legal codes.

In 1869, Mahatma Gandhi

Where would India be if the British did not settle in India? India was controlled by the Mughal Empire in the early 1700’s.

India did not benefit from British imperialism either politically, economically, or socially. Politically the British benefited

The British originally came in as a decent sized company in East India, but when the sepoys attacked that company, England sent their whole army and navy to get the sepoys under control, but while doing that they also took over all of India. Although economically and socially the Indians did benefit in some ways, the British established a massive infrastructure by controlling India and having a huge political, economic, and social impact on India that helped them more than it helped the Indians.

Gandhi was and continues to be a well respected man in the world of non-violent protests and the non violent movement in India. Like Martin Luther king Jr., he faced discrimination in his country but responded only with peaceful protests. When Britain colonized India, they treated the indian people poorly and imposed many unfair laws and regulations. They dehumanized them by requiring that the Indian people and other colored folk carry around pass cards so they could separated them from the british

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.
