Question
How studying India's Colonial past is important for understanding modern India?
✓

Answer

Comprehending India's colonial past is important because:
  1. Many modern ideas and institutions reached India through colonialism.
  2. Exposure to modern ideas was contradictory or paradoxical. e.g., Indians in the colonial period read about western liberalism and freedom. Yet they lived under a western colonial rule that denied Indian's liberty and freedom.
