WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The British restricted Indian industries, such as textiles. An emphasis on cash crops resulted in the loss of self-sufficiency for many villagers. The conversion to cash crops reduced food production, which caused famines. British missionaries and racism threatened traditional Indian culture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Historians also credit British times for giving India the notion of the rule of law, a parliamentary democracy and constitutional government, an organized civil service, police force, military and the legal system–essentially, all the key institutions that run a country.

Detailed explanation-3: -To suppress the mutiny and discontinue the unity among the people of the country, Britishers opted for a ‘divide and rule’ policy so that they could create differences between the people of different castes and creeds which would automatically make ruling over them easy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The constitution adopted in 1950 made India a democratic country, and this democracy has been sustained since then.
