Question

discuss the pros and cons the impact of british rule in political scenerio of indian terms of education, infrastructure and scientific advancement​

Answer 1

Answer:

The British era of dominance over India has both merits and demerits to its name. However, limiting it to the question here are some pros and cons for the above mentioned points.

Education : On one hand where they unified the education system, centralised it and made what are today's schools, on the other they destroyed the heritage of ancient Indian literature and it's Gurukul system.

Infrastructure : The infrastructural development under the British was tremendous, which gave the industrial advancement it's big break, yet again the cost for it was mass deforestation.

Scientific advancement was definitely a boon which came to India under the British era.

If we start noting the pros and cons of British rule over India, the negatives column would definitely outgrow the positives. However, the infrastructure development, especially the railways, will certainly be one positive if not all. Ironically, as was with all colonial moves, the idea of railways again gained momentum to strengthen the British monopoly which was already on a high. Evidently, between 1860 and 1940, total railways route miles increased from 838 to 41,852.

Hope it helps you.
