Question

How were activities carried out by patrirarchal societies in India during British rule

Answer 1

The British Empire had a huge effect on the world, with some good consequences and some bad. It would be hard to imagine what the world would be like if the British had not spread their influence. Without the empire the U.S. would have been colonised by another powerful country during the 17th century – for example, France, the Netherlands or Spain. This would have had sever effects on the Industrial Revolution as it would have taken much longer for the changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining and transport to spread from Britain had it not had the Empire that it could share its technology with. This could have meant that common technologies such as the computer and electricity would not have been invented yet.
