Answer 2

Statements that best describe the relationship between Great Britain and India from 1760 – 1947 are:

(Option B) Great Britain denied Indians any role in the government of their nation.

(Option E) Great Britain treated Indians as second-class citizens.

(Option F) Great Britain claimed India as its colony.

• Indians were prohibited from taking part in their country's government by Great Britain. Indians are denied civil liberties by the British people because for them Indians were declared unsuitable/unworthy. The British regarded themselves as superior and disrespected Indians as the least civilized people. Only the British were eligible for the higher administrative positions.
• The British held Indians in low esteem and considered India's culture to be inferior to that of Europe.  Indian laborers gave the British cheap labor; they put in long hours and frequently suffered dreadful working conditions.
• Not even a government, but a private corporation—the British East India Company—was responsible for India's loss of independence. The British East India Company expanded its control over a sizeable portion of the nation through manipulation and brutality and carried out its theft by taxing the native population and forcibly stealing their resources.

Therefore, statements that best describe the relationship between Great Britain and India from 1760 – 1947 are: (Option B), (Option E), and (Option F).
