As I’ve begun to research into my question of the ‘effects of British colonization in India’ I feel like it would be better and more specific if I focus on the negative ones as there are both positive and negative ones. The positive ones are pretty clear, which are: the modernization of the country, introduction of western technologies and medicines, western education opportunities and ties to the outside world, which most colonized territories thereafter experience. But in this case there’s even unity (not necessarily friendly but unity nonetheless) because at one point India was an official colony under the crown which forced all of its diverse peoples from Buddhists, Islamists, to Hindus to work together, both politically and economically. But my research process is very challenging and I’ve beginning to figure that out because I can’t find any general information on Proquest as it is all specific and is hardly understandable for someone who doesn’t can’t summaries what took place in the first place. So although I will be using sources from Proquest, I am reading up on the topic as much as I can on Google and various dedicated web sites to learn dates, events, and names of important people and places.
