The British introduced a parliamentary system of government to the Indians. As stated in document 3 by Romesh Dutt, “Englishman has given the people of India the greatest human blessing – peace.” They have introduced Western Education. This has brought an ancient and civilized nation in touch with modern thought, modern sciences, and modern life. This means that the British have positively affected India because they brought over their knowledge and educated the natives, which results in more skilled workers. They also modernized India with their economic system of Mercantilism, and their parliamentary form of government.
Nina Phan 01/17/13 Period 2 British imperialism in India had many positive and negative effects on the mother country, Britain, and the colony, India. Many people argued about which effects were more important while some agreed that they were both equal. According to O.P. Austin, the benefits of the British imperialism were building roads, canals, railways, and telegraphs. They would be able to establish schools and newspapers for the people of the colonies.
Imperialism is the act of an empire taking rule over foreign countries. Imperialism had both positive and negative effects on India. During the 1700’s the British East India Company took advantage of other countries’ natural resources such as India’s (India: British East India Company). The company also wanted to control countries’ markets which they could do through imperialism. The British East India Company had successfully imperialized India by taking advantage of India’s political rivalries at the time, pushing the religious differences in India to create further religious tensions, and taking over little parts of India at a time.
Not only did they westernized their education with modern sciences and modern life, but they also made a frame for the to establish laws and courts of justice (Document3). The British built a strong and efficient administration ran the government for the Indians, deciding that they would not be able to run their government properly, became a problem later for India. Imperialism may have been a positive force for India in many ways, but the economic gain benefitted
To what extent was 1822 a turning point in British politics? The year 1822 is seen by some as a key turning point in British politics as it saw the introduction of liberal Tories, enforcing liberal attitudes upon parliament. However, I would argue that 1822 was not a turning point, but rather a year of half-hearted enforcements of reforms in order to avoid political unrest. In 1822, Lord Liverpool hoped that by introducing four key individuals, by the names of Canning, Peel, Huskisson and Robinson, into the cabinet, the social reforms they would introduce would reduce demand for political reform. I would argue that this decision would suggest continuity as opposed to change within the political system as it was a way for the Government to seem more liberal.
He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
Essay comparing essay (Mao and Gandhi) Both Mao and Gandhi were the key leaders in each of their countries, China and India. The means they adopted in order to alter each of their government’s regimes, which are rotten to the core, was totally different, even though they desired to occur quite similar things. The attempts they tried to carry out were various, such as economical, social and political reason. As following evidence shows. Firstly, in order to acquire the power economically, Gandhi utilized a spinning wheel and the traditional clothes of India to address their citizens not to purchase western clothes, which greatly contributes to Britain economy.
The combination of comfort with English, combined with the relatively liberal political and media environment of India, is resulting in a huge American influence on this middle class. Also contributing are the increasingly strong people to people links between America and India. The middle class is thus developing aspirations that are in line with this psuedo-western mindset. It seems that for now these aspirations are mostly consumerish and professional, not political”. But the most defining feature of this middle class has been the fact that despite moving up the ladder in the consumption chain, it has not lost view of its “traditions” which does appear contrasting but is the path chosen.
Next I will look briefly at the general history of the importance of clothing in Indian culture and how it has been used for social change. Finally I will look at how Indians used clothing, both European to advance in the business world and society and with more precedence, traditional clothing to resist British colonial authority and interference, in the hope of proving that clothing has been an important part of the history of both colonialism and anti-colonialism. British colonial rule in South Asia is commonly known as The British Raj (or reign). The region, commonly called India in contemporary usage, included areas directly administered by Britain, as well as the princely states ruled by individual rulers under the paramountcy of the British Crown. After 1876, the resulting political union was officially called the ‘Indian Empire’ and issued passports under that name.
Their nomadic lifestyle, families, and wealth made them appear as respectable people. Primarily because the rich culture was described in such a positive manner, Europeans developed a new interest in the people east of them. The results of this include the spread of the compass, papermaking, and printing to Europe which had not occurred before Polo’s book. An instigator¬¬¬ of communication between two completely separate places, Marco Polo made Yuan China and Mongol
