Question

Q..why did historians regard the history of the
modern period in India as the
Colonial period​

Answer 1

Colonialism is the policy of a country seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of economic dominance. In the process of colonisation, colonisers may impose their religion, economics, and other cultural practices on indigenous peoples.

India was said to be under the colonial rule of the british because they too tried too establish their authority on India and to make changes in our social, political and econimic styles.
