Questions for
Consideration:
1. In what way did the Revolt of 1857 mark a turning point in
Indian/British relations?
2. How did the British contribute to the rise of modern India?
3. What are some of the positive contributions of British rule in
India? What are some of the negative results? Was British rule
good or bad for India?
4. Describe the factors
that led to British domination of India. Was it the result of a
deliberate British policy? Discuss the policies of the British
government after imperial control was effected. That is, did the
British try to extend her imperial control to convert India?
