Detailed explanation-1: -The British Empire grew the British economy, it traded their goods and all profits were sent to Britain. At first, they learnt the Indian language, wore Indian clothes, and were part of the community. but were always kept suppressed, never given well paid jobs and failed to help in times of famine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similarly, 51% of Leave voters think Britain’s former colonies are better off for their inclusion in the empire, compared to 22% of Remain voters. And while Remain voters don’t wish the empire was still around by 66% to 16%, Leave voters are split with 39% wishing it was and 40% willing to leave it in the past.
Detailed explanation-3: -A majority of people in all regions, between 41% and 45%, felt that the Empire was a good thing, with the exception of Scotland, where more people thought it was a bad thing (34%) than thought it was good (30%), and a source of regret (36%) rather than pride (34%).
Detailed explanation-4: -British rule in India left a negative impact on the people of the country: Famines due to British mismanagement. Divided the country into two parts and followed the divide and rule policy. Unfair Tax practices.
