After what the British did, India will never be the same. The British colonized India during the end of the 16th century; colonising a country in honor of arrogance and ignorance. Ever since then, India can thank them for the genocides and frail international relations. The gag is that India is actually lucky the British colonized instead of other European countries. It’d be preferred to not be colonized at all, but there are worse case scenarios. If you think British colonization was a good thing

British imperialism created more harm in the way that it drastically changed the way the indians lived their regular lives and followed their cultural practices. Once the British East India Company began controlling more and more territory in India, they had their own army, which was led by the British but staffed by Indians and this led to many problems, one being that the British sealed the bullets of the Enfield rifle with beef and pork fat, which are extremely sacred animals to Hindus and Muslims

There are many different reasons why the partition of India occurred. When Britain oppressed India, they had a divide-and-conquer policy that exacerbated the religious and cultural rifts that already existed in the society. The Muslim League, which believed in the ideology of “Pakistan”, actively campaigned to gain more support for the Muslims in India, especially under the guidance of dynamic leaders like Jinnah. Pakistani leader and founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah believed that this partition was inevitable

How did Christianity affect the people of India? Introductory Religions have been around for many thousands of years. Catholicism is one of the largest religions in the world. India is a country in Asia, and is a little bigger than Texas, but has over 2 billion people. A 2001 survey showed there to a little over “24 million Christians” in India (Christianity).
