REASONS:-

The colonial era started in 17th century British stepped into Indiain 18th century as traders and ruled India almost between 1858and 1947. Muslims had been ruling India for almost thousandyears but Britain had been able to gain control over them. After

Britain took control of India they made it British colony.

The subcontinent was initially controlled by East India Company,which set up number of factories and made India a traders postand proved the most powerful company that controlled India withits direct rule as the support of some Indian princes. India becamea British colony in 1857 even as the power was transferred fromEast India Company to British crown.

there is nothing absolute good or bad.To that extent I agree that Britishcoloniesm did some good things forIndia. However I would want to debate

the notion that had British not beenthere India would not have seen a of

the best thing that could have happened toIndia was to be colonized by the British.As an Indian living abroad, I was livid to

hear this and extremely offended by thecomment.

, Indians speak English, which is why we areadvancing so rapidly today. To me, this

shows pure ignorance. Just because wespeak English, does this make us anysmarter

Therefore if India was not colonized would

have been Bharat or Hindustan or evenUnited states of Hindustan and woulddefinately have been better placedeconomically
