Background Knowledge The British established the East India Company in the 1600s and rivaled the Dutch and French. The British took over the colonies and trade of the Dutch which led to the ending of the Dutch East India Company in The British held off the French by The Mughal emperor lost his throne in 1858 so the British has the large subcontinent. The British appointed British Raj, trained Sepoys, financed public works, and improved trade and agriculture.

Effects of Imperialism Historically The British helped improve public works and agriculture. This reduced famine in parts of India. They also installed railroads which many rode on business, pilgrimage, and search for work, but some opposed because it mixed people of different castes, faiths, and sexes. This also spread cholera when there was a flood of poor coming to cities. This made the British install a sewage system which reduced cholera dramatically. Westernization reformed the public education. The first secular school for Indian women was established after the Hindu College was found.

They are seeking permanenet seating on the U.N. Security Council. High-tech industries have been established, but there is still poverty and food shortages. The struggle between Hindus and Muslims still exist as well. On February 28, 2002, a Muslim mob attacked Hindus in Godhra when they were returning from the holy city of Ayodhya. But, despite this struggle, India is prospering somewhat because of all the jobs being sent overseas.
