Racial assortment within a society additionally contributes to the breakdown of a regulated system, showing how a population cannot be restricted. A controlling force, like the British empire cannot sustain its influence after India’s natives respect their own culture and other ethnic groups. The reason why Aziz is so successful, is due to the fact that he accepts British people. He seeks the opportunities and benefits that resonate with possessing many social interactions over a wide range of a…

The Sepoy Mutiny is about Indians that back in the 1850’s when they worked for Great Britain that heard rumors that the soldiers used cow and pig grease in their weapons which is against their religion and they rebelled. I don’t think that the soldiers use animal grease as cartridges in their rifles. The Sepoy Mutiny was caused by a rumor and a rumor only. That rumor seems to be that cow and pig grease were used as cartridges in british rifles and that is against the Indians religions. Evidence…

A puzzling argument in the post-colonial period is that the European colonial enterprise was an outrage to the dignity of post-colonial nation-states when in fact, these nation-states did not even exist prior to the end of colonialism.

I will argue that Western education positively helped the eventual independence of colonies because it taught natives the European assumptions of freedom and…

British had nearly been defeated in India in 1857 because of the riots in central and northern India but in spring of 1858 they came back into the game. This was called the Revolt of 1857 and because the British came back a lot of violence occurred from both sides leading equal amounts of counter-violence. Since the British executed the rebels, the rebels also killed white civilians like women and children without mercy. This led to the Kanpur massacre in June 27, 1857. The revolt ended the…

European imperialism was a staple of world politics for several centuries, and its implications are still heavily present today. The current political climates of North America, Africa, and South Asia are all affected by this colonialism due to the political infrastructure and in some cases, the lack thereof that was put into place during the time of European rule. It is a monumental task to completely analyze the colonial experiences of European powers, particularly Britain in South Asia, but…

British imperialism in India was a time period lasting around 2 centuries from 1757 to 1947 when they finally left the country. British imperialism was split into two periods, the rule from the British East India Company from 1757 to 1858 and the rule under British Crown, 1858 to 1947. The rule and extension of influence through India started from the British East India Company establishing trade routes/posts throughout India. They were able to control parts of India partly due to the use of…
