Question

7. The modern period (1750-1947) when Indians came in contact with western culture, history,
philosophy and scientific developments, had a profound effect on them. They were inspired by the
high ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Side-by-side this period also saw erosion of traditional
values cherished by Indians since ages. Describe the changes in values due to European influence

Finally, while European imperialists attempted to impose cultural uniformity upon their imperial possessions, they were shaped by those cultures in return.
