Imperialism in India :: European Europe History

Imperialism in IndiaBritish imperialism on India had some decreed and negative affects on both the mother country, Britain and the addiction, India. Many people would implore which imports were more prominent in these countries and some would agree that they were equal. save in both cases there were actually both. In India the British colonization had more positive affects than negative. For Instance, When the British colonized India they make 40,000 miles of railroad and 70,000 miles of paved roadway. As a result the British made it much easier to turn across India. Another good affect that the British had on India was the bear in agriculture, through large scale irrigation works. About 30 one thousand million acres were put into cultivation. Industrialization had similarly begun. Because of all these reasons almost no famine existed in British colonial India. The English also built many institutions in India and setup a productive government. They have frame in wise l aws and have established courts of justice(The Economic History Of India downstairs Early British Rule). In addition to all these positive affects, Britain also linked India to the new-fangled world through modern science and modern thought. However, where the is good there has to be bad. British colonization of India had its drawbacks. As the bang-up Mohandas Gahndi once said You English committed one supreme annoyance against my people. For a hundred years you have done every involvement for us. You have tending(p) us no responsibility for our own government. At first shine this may seem like a positive effect just now Ghandi did not intend it to be. Because even though it was a good thing that England setup a government in India they turned it into a effect because they did not let any natives into the important positions. They mommied the Indians if you will. Another negative effect England had on India was the finishing up of traditional industries. Prior to Britain c olonizing India there were many more divers skilled labors. Such as shipbuilding, metalwork, glassblowing, and paper making. With the break up there was a noticeable rise in the unemployment India. India was not the only country affected by the annex to the British imperium though. This annexation affected Great Britain as well. Although the effects were not as devastating they still caused some change. But overall Britain definitely benefited from the colony of India. They got more raw materials and they also got more land.
