Q-1. In your opinion what are the main reasons that helped
britishers to colonise India. Starting from the changes that
happened in Europe and then the circumstances in India?

A-1. starting from the Europe, there was rise of industrialisation

for which they required resources and they found India well
riched in resources like silk , cotton , indigo dye and etc . In
India they came as a English venture named east India company
but then they started ruling us in each aspect.
After moving apart from this now we are gonna to see that how
they colonise us:-
The main reason was India was already divided into princely
states means we were already divided into state which were
owned by different kings and britishers took advantage of it and
those who agreed with britishers there empire came under
britishers and those who didn’t they lost there empires as we
were not economically strong and we also don’t have weapons
to fight with them in comparison to them as they had army
which was well trained ,and powerful. Britishers also saw that
we were not united like we all were also divided on the basis of
religion, caste as we could see that at those time untouchability
(Dalits , chandals) this all exist which they took as advantage
and the main reason that people were from different culture so
they used this also as a weapon to exploit people.
After these given reasons, we can say that britishers started from
Europe and then the circumstances in india happened and they
colonise us.

Q-2. In your opinion other than Mahatma Gandhi who were

the other freedom fighters that helped to gather mass
support for Indian independence?
A-1. In my opinion other than Mahatma Gandhi Ji who were
great freedom fighter that helped to gather mass support for
Indian independence is the great “BHAGAT SINGH JI ”. He
was involved in fight for liberalisation in India in which he lost
his life. He was a courageous and rebel man who gave his life
for freedom of India from the britishers.During the struggle of
India’s freedom , India lost many great sons and daughters and
Bhagat Singh was one of them. He began to protest british rule
in india while still a youth and soon fought for national
independence.
