British rule in India

The first famine in Bengal in 1770 is estimated to have claimed the lives of a third of the local population (ten million people), although recent estimates indicate that the figure was close to two million [32]. The effects of the famine were due to the incomes of East Indian companies from Bengal, which dropped from 173,300 PS1770-71. The rise in business taxes coincided with an increase in hunger, but not because of the British Empire. The Maharashtra drought is one of the most well-known measures to prevent famine under British rule.

The British Empire in India had a long history of systematic exploitation of the Indian people by the imperialist regimes. The exploitation of the colonies and the entry of the British capital to finance payments and administrative costs have led to a significant economic burden on the country and reduced the base of the Indian economy. Two centuries of imperial rule was the immediate cause of India's independence and the economic devastation suffered by Britain during World War II, a war in which 25 million Indians took part.

When it was time to pack up and return to Britain the job of a London lawyer named Sir Cyril Radcliffe was to draw a line on the map, divide the colony into two parts, the Indians and the Pakistanis and settle the fate of hundreds of millions of people. The Indians were always opposed to British colonialism but were reluctant to subsidize foreign government services. Indigenous people chose civilian and military service in India to alleviate their suffering and to participate in government affairs.

On August 2, 1858, Parliament passed a law by the Government of India transferring power to the British Crown in India from the East India Company. Although some of the most powerful political leaders became foreign ministers of India in the second half of the nineteenth century, the real control of the Indian government remained in the hands of the British Viceroy, who divided their time between Calcutta, Calcutta, Simla, Shimla, and their 1,500 Indian Civil Steel Service (ICS) in British India. His monarchy was the monarchy of the Indian subcontinent, ruling over 350 million people on the British continent 20 times and not responding to anyone but his subjects.

Morley, like many other British politicians, believed that the only reason for the British empire was for the British people in India to give Britain to the Indian government the largest political center, the Government of Parliament. The British government was making great efforts to prevent disease, but not enough medical and resource officials for the main purpose of alleviating suffering and providing healing services, and it was the duty of nations to donate to the private sector at that time. This question has served to unite millions of Indians and lead them to a new level of dissatisfaction with the British Empire and its hasty acceptance of the Rowlatt Act of 1919.

The colonial powers used the forced isolation of infected people, killing germs, removing and destroying infected areas. In the prevention of epidemics, much work has been done to save the lives of the people of India as a whole, as well as state troops and officials in particular.

Farmers had to grow enough food to feed themselves and other people in the villages and communities. When agricultural production exceeded consumption, due to favorable weather conditions, they had to store the rest for a few years. Stored food stocks are used by the government to import whole foods and sorghum.

During the British colonies, Indian agriculture was dominated by subsistence agriculture organized into small rural communities. Changes in land ownership and control have contributed to crop failure and disrupted human health.

Factors contributing to the gradual decline of Indian art, the disappearance of courts and sponsorships, the violent trade policy of the East India Company and the British government, rising competition and British engineering products, and the growing demand for Western raw materials have led to foreign influence. India, like China, was the center of a growing economy and was the first European trader around the African Cape. The British changed the trade pattern through colonial exploitation of the Indian economy, and India became an exporter of consumer goods and food and an importer of industrial goods.

From 1757 to 1947, during the British occupation, the Indian subcontinent was on the rise. This is an amazing fact, considering that historically India was one of the richest places in the world.

Other European empires were also less aggressive, and in many cases worse. Many say that this is a British colonial rule, but if you look at the facts, you can say no more.

The abolition of symbols from two centuries of British rule remains a well-known jingoist policy in India 60 years after independence. Historians commend the British for providing India with ideas for democracy, parliamentary democracy, a constitutional government, a well-organized system of civil servants, the police, the military, and the judiciary as important institutions for governing the country.

Commentators have pointed to the inefficiency of the British government as a contributing factor to the risk of famine during India's British occupation. The following points shed light on six important effects of British colonial rule on the Indian economy.

The disgraceful empire reached its climax when it surrendered to the famine in India-led India, which Toro called the British Holocaust. Between 30 million and 35 million Indians perished during famine during the British occupation.

While the discovery of English increased the prosperity of the middle-class Indians, and brought about a sense of equality under British rule, and undermined the class of the ruling class, said the famous author and teacher U.R.
