HOW DO BRITISHERS BEHAVE TO INDIANS IN HINDI
Answers
Answer: Mark me as brainliest
Explanation:British control of India really encompassed two main phases. The first was the period from 1785-1858, when India was under the control of the East India Company (EIC). The EIC was a corporation chartered by the Crown that had virtual sovereignty over India. It had slowly gained control over Indian commerce and territory throughout the eighteenth century, and became especially prominent after the Seven Years' War. The EIC was characterized by corruption and mismanagement, which led Parliament, over time, to establish more and more control over Indian affairs. EIC rule was also deeply resented by many of the Indian people. The EIC sought to exploit social and political divisions of the subcontinent and violently suppressed uprisings using mercenary forces and men conscripted from the local population. Dissatisfaction with EIC rule culminated with a massive rebellion that began in the ranks of these colonial forces, and after it was violently put down in 1858, Parliament placed the subcontinent directly under government rule. This government control was known as the "Raj," and it would last until after World War II. Throughout the Raj, British rulers viewed the Indian people as racially and culturally inferior. They also alienated ordinary Indian people even as they made alliances with Indian elites, who ruled in agreements with the Crown. Again, the British created divisions by choosing Indians to serve in the colonial bureaucracy, nurturing a subclass of elites that were resented by the masses. They legally and socially discriminated against Indians and people of mixed race, who were also shunned by Indian people. They forced Indian farmers into a global market and mandated the growth of commercial crops, which left them open to the ups and downs of supply and demand. Overall, the wealth generated by India under the Raj was not invested back into India (though the British did construct considerable infrastructure, roads in particular). In sum, the British treated Indians as subject peoples, useful only inasmuch as they could enrich the British empire.
