Negative Effects Of British Imperialism

The Imperialism of India was the total control of India through the British Empire which had created changes to spread through India. British colonization on India had benefits that helped the country grow. A benefit that was created from this imperialism was the end of slavery, a gain in education, and a higher standard of living. However this also created negative effects on India including unemployment rating increasing, poverty, and standard living fell. We can see the benefits of imperialism in an article written by Romesh Dutt in which he said,” They have introduced Western education.” Also he says that,” They have built an administration that is strong and efficient “. In the same way Mohandas Gandhi explains the negative effect that
it had created. This is shown when he says,” You English committed one supreme crime against my people. For a hundred years you have done everything for us. You have given us no responsibility for our own government”. From these two articles we are able to understand how the British had effected India in different form of ways.
