Solution

Dear student,

Colonisation- When the subjugation of one country by another leads to political, economic,cultural & social changes, this is called colonisation.

When the British came to India, they conquered India & established their rule by subjugating local mawabs & rajas.they established control over the economy & society, collected revenue to meet their expenses, bought the goods they wanted at low prices & even produced crops they needed for export.This lead to changes in the Indian values and tastes,custom and practices, even leading to political,economic, social & cultural changes. this is called colonisation.

Regards
