Brittish imperialsm in india

quite good, yet over generalises the argument that it ties to get across. needs work in relation to a more fair and logical of arguing the point.

This is a fine essay on British imperialism in India and some of its unfortunate consequences. England benefited more than India from its "jewel in the crown" but, as you point out, India did derive at least some positive aspects from its relationship with Great Britain such as technology and capital.


India has for some time been the world's largest democracy and can make real strides in the twenty-first century if it can overcome some daunting problems it faces stemming from overpopulation and economic problems. One can only hope.


I would have liked to have seen a somewhat longer concluding paragraph in which you sum up your key points. Your report was balanced and enlightening. Good job!

This is a good, concise account of British imperialism. The essay is clearly structured and worded, although, as johnjjp says, there could have been a longer and more rounded conclusion to sum up what had previously been said.


I think it is sad that Britain, and most of the Western countries, feel that they have the right to interfere with the way other countries are run. Although the custom that you mention, sati, seems frighteningly wrong to me, I think that banning another countries custom (particularly when Britain has not been invited into the country, but has taken it by force) is wrong. The West think we are more developed, and therefore right. This may or may not be true. However, to have the arrogance to think we can dictate the laws of another country, which has different customs and beliefs, is as wrong as the custom sati. Countries need to be able to develop at their own pace, without interference from other cultures. I do not think there is any good that can come of imperialism. capital and technology are not necessarily the positive things we think them to be.


A thought-provoking essay. Well done!
