Colonialism is a practice or policy of acquiring and taking over the administration of a territory by another country by force with the intention of exploiting it politically and economically. This is done even by filling up the country with the colonialist's own people and/or local, subservient satraps who toe the line of the overseas power.
In the Indian context, the back of the peasantry was broken with the introduction of cash crops like indigo and opium in place of food crops like rice, maize and wheat. Cotton, which was grown in India, too found its way to places like Manchester in Great Britain. All this was done for the economic gain of the British.
