Impact of declonization before and after independence in india

To explain the process of decolonization in one nation is a difficult task. To describe clearly the patterns to be found in decolonization across the globe is therefore an impressive accomplishment. Martin Shipway successfully unravels such a story in Decolonization and Its Impact: A Comparative Approach to the End of Colonial Empires.  His comparative analysis of decolonization after the Second World War contests numerous traditionally accepted assumptions about how the “End of Empire” unfolded. Shipway challenges disconnected, determinist narratives of decolonization and instead encourages a history of decolonization that is complex and continuous. He also confronts the theory that the Second World War was the absolute “breaking point” that necessitated the fall of colonialism globally. Shipway's thesis throughout the book was that a “late colonial shift” in the mindset of colonial governments worked with separate factors in different geographical areas to bring about the ends of different colonial rules.

Shipway’s organization forwards his thesis in a logical manner, beginning with an introduction that carefully outlines his major arguments. In the first chapter, he examines colonial states before the start of the Second World War. In the second chapter, he studies local movements against colonialism.  The third chapter examines the Second World War’s impact on decolonization processes and the “First Wave” of decolonization that followed the war. In the fourth chapter, Shipway examines Southeast Asia’s experience in this “First Wave” of decolonization. Here he strongly applies his idea of the “late colonial shift” in his analysis. In the fifth chapter, he turns his attention to the end of colonialism in Africa, and again focuses on the idea of the “late colonial shift.” The next chapter examines the Late Colonial State at War, while the two final chapters look at the patterns of late colonial rule and “Endgame” in colonial policies.
