Article on British rule in India a boon or a curse
Answers
As we all thinkBritish rule was a curse for us. but it was some advantageous for us, as the India was ruled by the kings but when the British rule came in India it boycott all the kings and made India a independent nation. if British not ruled India and came to India we will be until the slaves of these kings. After the arrival of British the social reformers become active and make so many reforms like Abolish the sati pratha by raja rammohan Roy and etc.
But it was a curse also for us as they made several revenue policies that affect the farmers and force them to grow cash crops which led to famine and millions of people died in it.
Explanation:
More than half a century has passed since British rule ended in India but the language of those rulers has a much firmer hold on Indian society today than at the time they departed. This may not be a cause for concern. After all, English is the language in which most advances in the fields of science, technology, business, entertainment, etc. are expressed. It is the language of the most powerful and most developed nation on the earth. The greater the acceptance of English language in Indian society – the argument goes – the faster India would advance.
If this were true, India would already be more developed than East Asian nations where medium of instructions is non-English. In fact, quite the reverse is true, and how! It is not our fluent-in-English engineers who go and make cars and televisions in Korea. Rather, it is Korean engineers who by studying translated-from-English-to-Korean books somehow better absorb the knowledge and are able to make better use of it. One can give such examples in virtually any field of endeavor.
