Explanation:
In this article, you will be reading the summary of the chapter Glimpses of the Past. The chapter describes the events and the circumstances that took place in India during the year 1757 to 1857. It starts with the time when the East India Company was very strong in India. The Indian princes and states were busy fighting with each other. They often sought British help and thus British took advantage of this to gain power and establish their rule in India. The social conditions were also not in good shape. Social evils such as child marriages, untouchability, sati pratha, etc. were prevalent in society. Also, the farmers had to pay heavy taxes.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy worked a lot towards reforming society. British also passed many resolutions to ruin India and Indian industries. Lord Macaulay also brought a bill according to which the medium of education could only be English. The main aim of the British was to prepare clerks who can assist them in the administration. By 1856, India had fully become a British colony. However, after the revolt of 1857, the British rule started to shake. The Indians revolted and struggled for freedom until 1947, i.e. till they achieved it.
