an unsuccessful india
India is one of the worlds oldest and richest civilizations, the treasure chest of the Far East, and the desire of all the great powers of Europe. After years of battle it ended up under the control of Britain, making it "the most precious jewel in the crown of the Empire". Yet for India, the rule of the British did not bring promises of rebuilding a nation. Rather, it brought new dilemmas to face the Indian people. The British constantly exploited the nation for its prime resources and yet India had no gain from them. As the British Empire expanded, the wealth, resources and power of India attenuated. Slowly the suffering of the people of India grew. Meanwhile, Britain concentrated on increasing profits for its share-holders and officials, neglecting the suffering people of India and not to mention draining the wealth out of a great nation. Furthermore, new British laws destroyed the Indian industries that the British actually helped create in the first place. Their new British laws were also responsible for an enormous unemployment rate. Finally, India was ruled by a country that knew nothing about them and could not sympathize with them or rule them properly. India, at the time, had previously supported t
The drain of money by the conquering British nation and from the conquered Indian nation was enough to show that the nation of India was exploited and British rule was unsuccessful in India. Furthermore, the people of India were deceived and led by people who had no knowledge or interest in their well-being.. The repercussions of British rule can still be seen today, almost fifty years later. However, like the beliefs of many, Bal Ghangadhar Tilak wrote when addressing the Congress Party in 1906 that, basically, the British stopped the people of India from fighting amongst themselves in attempt to look favorable towards the Indian population. This false sense of security made it easy for the British to "go at the throats" of those in India. At first the Indian society believed that the British were great people whose only true objective was to help the people of India, but as they became more educated by the British and about the British, the people realized that the British were deceiving them. People of India began to believe that the British did not truly have a great desire to help their people and were actually only focused on British self-interests. The growing poverty and increased knowledge of rulers of India only helped to re-assure the beliefs of the people that they were being deceived. The British were causing a drain of money from India and it was ruining the country. This domination by the British government brought forth many advantages for the nation of India. Knowledge is power, and the British spent years educating the people of India with a western form of schooling. This education brought an ancient civilization together with modern thought and therefore, even today, India has one of the leading science programs in the world. The British built a strong and efficient administration and established a court of justice. These laws helped to abolish human sacrifice, slave trading and female infanticide in India. Fina
