Question

impact of british rule on india

Answer 1

Exploitation of natural resources: India was literally the backbone of Britain’s Industrial Revolution. India was, for the former reason, Britain’s sacred cow.

Dividing Indians based on their religion: the ongoing cold war between Hindus and Muslims would have never happened if Britain hadn’t followed the “divide and conquer” approach to weaken India’s national identity and divide Indians. There’s only one result now: India and Pakistan.

Political control to fulfill the British Royal crown’s own interests and profits in India militarily, economically, politically, and strategically.

Exploitation of Indians in labor: Indians were obliged to fulfill extremely tough work in harvesting. Also, exploitation in wars: Britain was heavily dependent on Indian soldiers in WWI and WWII.
