The British caused many deaths and Indians suffered a lot from being under the British government and was hard for them to live a normal life while having British men roaming the streets. While the British want India's goods and want to make profit off of their cash crops. The British first came to India in the 1600s while the British East India Company started setting up trading posts in Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta. The British East India Company quickly took advantage of the growing weakness of the Mughals. The Company had its own army of sepoys (Indian soldiers).

Although there was 10,000 miles of railroads for the British and Indians to both ride on (Lalvani). The British built the railroads to steal the Indians and spread their materials to other British people and use it to their advantage and make clothing in their factories and make them ready to sell (Doc 7). The railroads were not meant for the Indians to use which they thought it was for but it was for the British to take the Indians materials. While they were also cutting down many trees which were dropping salt in the Indians crops. Although the british did help the endangered species (Lalvani).

The British caused to many deaths and protests and famines that caused those death in more specifics 59 million deaths from famine.

The evidence shows it all they built schools so the British could communicate with them, to building railroads so the British could transport Indias raw materials and having the government be 94% British and the other 6% is Indian giving the British a upper hand because there would be no-one there to try to stop them and if the Indians tried to stop them they either got imprisoned or killed. The importance of this is the British made Indians go through the worst from having a high chance of dying from lack of food or being killed if they spoke out against the British. India would have been a different place if it weren't for the British there would've been less deaths and less conflict between hindus and muslims which would have resulted in fewer deaths and possibly them coming together to make a better India. The British changed the Indians everyday life and how they live to this day but what would've happened if India's government was 50/50 and had equal amount of Indians and equal amount of British
