For centuries, India was a country of separate dynasties and kingdoms, which often led to a wide variety of cultural and ethnic tensions and continuous change of power for many of the kingdoms. They viewed each other as enemies, which created an opportunity for countries, such as England, to invade and eventually rule much of the country. Britain colonized the Indian subcontinent (present-day countries of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh) from 1757 until 1947 (Iyer 2). Not all areas were directly under British control, in other cases Indian rulers governed them, and power was split between the two (Iyer 2). For the British, India was strategically placed in terms of geography, manpower, natural resources, and land, as well as many other sectors (Maddison 1).
When the British wanted to take over the East India, they had to take control of the Indian
The Effects of British Imperialism in India One could approach this topic from two points of view: the British and the Indian. One could choose either party and find very different opinions. When British colonizers first arrived in India, they slowly gained more and more control in India through many ways, the most prominent being trade and commerce. At first, they managed India’s government by pulling the string behind the curtain. However, soon they had acquired complete rule over India, converting it into a true British colony.
There is no denying that the colonization and imperialistic exploitation of India during British rule led to the systematic disenfranchisement of an entire subcontinent. Furthermore, for decades, the people of India were effectively relegated to being secondary class subjects in their own country. The British relied on a strategy of pitting religious sects and ethnic groups against one another in order to divide an effective opposition to the their rule, moreover also relied on a network of regional puppet kings known as the raj to give the image of local autonomy when in reality the power at first laid in the British Indian Company and in the aftermath the Sepoy Rebellion the Imperial High Commission. However, despite these many obstacles

It was a three level system including the imperial government located in London, the central government located in Calcutta, and later on provincial governments scattered throughout the regions of what was known as the British Raj1.

To this day you can still feel the british influence there. I actually have a personal connection to this case because a lot of my grandpas were freedom fighters to get the British out of India. Sadly most of them have passed now but they were all accomplished men and had superior nationalism to the rest of us. Anyways back the to the positives of imperialism in India. When the British invaded India they added a lot of new technology that helped the economy. One of the big things was a good transportation system. Thy built a railroad system that help the people get from place to place but also trade so the industries in India could get foreign resources. Indians obviously wanted to get the British out hence my grandparents but this really brought together the country and created rebellions. This might seem bad at first with all the violence but in retrospect this truly brought together the country. The British as they always do also implemented their education system to this day is still 6th in the world. India instead of pushing it out they built up on it and created a better

Many of the common modern diseases such as diabetes, (lung) cancer and cardiovascular disease are caused by habits like physical inactivity, smoking and unhealthy diets [1]. Most habits are automatic human behavioral processes that are triggered by environmental or situational stimuli. These behavioral processes become habits when they are constantly repeated in the same context and result in actions that one is not conscious about [2], which can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to the individual’s health. Up until now, most of the approaches trying to change unhealthy habits in the population have been done through clinics or public health campaigns and are often ineffectual, as the actions are unconscious. When using habits as a
