Write an article about the role of colonial rule
and changes brought to India by British.
Answers
Answer:
some changes
introduced by British colonisation in Indian society are:
a) Indian unification:
British rule introduced institutional changes such as a professional civil service,
unified judiciary and codified civil & criminal laws; thereby adding a new
dimension of political unity to the cultural unity that had already existed in
India.
b) modern transport
& communication: such as Railways, roads & telegraph was introduced by
British:
1.
helped people to overcome geographic & cultural
barriers; people from different regions came closer as long distance travel was
undertaken more frequently; facilitating exchange of political ideas as well as
mobilization & organization of people on important political & economic
issues.
2.
economic fate of people from different regions got
tied together; say failure of crops in one region adversely affected prices
& supply in another region.
c) socio-religious
reforms: initiated by British such as abolition of sati, widow remarriage were
first attempts to establish a just social order in Indian society; such removal
of social evils brought different sections of society together; gave confidence
to women & depressed sections.
d) western
education: introduced by British brought Indians in contact with modern ideas
such as democracy, civil rights, nation-states & rationalism; educated
Indians deeply influenced by such modern ideas went on to lead the national
movement.
such changes introduced by British colonisation in Indian society fuelled
the growth of Indian nationalism.
