describe the consequence of British education system in India
Answers
No decision making : During British rule, Indians had no decision-making or political power in any area. India lost its self-identity and once known for its rich culture, became the slave to Britishers.
Disruption of harmony: British used ‘divide and rule’ policy to make the Indians fight with other so they can use them for their self-interest. While Indians fought with each other, Britishers used the opportunity to conquer Indian places to extend their political influence. They made Indian rulers redundant.
Religious differences: Britishers for the first time started the hatred of communism between the Hindus and Muslims of India which later led to the division of the country into India and Pakistan.
High taxation: India under British rule struggled with high taxation rules which were almost impossible for craftsmen to pay to lead to the all time decline of Indian handicrafts which was world famous before Britisher’s invasion to India.
No economic growth : India made zero growth economically during Britishers rule from 1857-1947 as there were no opportunities for growth.
British rule was one of the toughest time India faced as the country. India got affected in many ways during British colonial rule but there was a positive side too, which cannot be denied either.
