Question

how did India become a Colony of British

Answer 1

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 nawabs & 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. This is how India become a colony of the British.
