RE:The facts about British Raj
by Nanchil on Aug 16, 2007 09:50 AM

Although British did some atrocities and looting their rule must be a blessing in disguise. Beacaue of british, people started having some awareness that education was not a monopoly of a particular community. Because of english education, people developed a sense of freedom and fought against british to get freedom. You might notice that most of leaders who led freedom struggle were educated by british. Social menace like sati, untouchability, child marriage were regarded as crime and sins atleast by educated people.
Above all we got a country known as India which otherwise would be land of so many kingdoms.
