∙ 8y agothe negative effects of British rule in India
first of all the British started to take raw materials for low cost from India and then they sold the finished goods for high rates in the market. this of course yielded an increase in their profit but the handmade Indian goods lost its customers as they would get the goods at lower cost. this effected the income of the Indians who used to sell their finished goods and from earned from their business .
the next thing is that British people started the method of Divide and Rule in order to make the Indians fight between themselves. at the times the Indians were fighting these British people conquered the places from Indian rulers to extend their political influence.
they sowed the first seed of Communism between Hindus and Muslims. this led to the division of our nation into Pakistan and India.
another adverse effect of British rule was that they gave birth to corruption in our country by giving bribe to some Indians in order to make those people help them to know the weak points of Indian rulers.
They set up high tax which could not be borne by craftsmen which led to the decline of Indian handicrafts which had attained world wide fame earlier.

Why was India a goog colony of the british empire?
The British first arrived in India around 1600. They came to start trading monopolies with them. The British East India Company was formed to facilitate that trade. The French were also there. At the end of the Seven Years'War (1756-1763), the French lost their trading rights in India and the British East India Company began to establish greater control, generally through agreements with the Mughal rulers. By the 1840's, the British East India Company had control of much of India. In 1857, the Sepoy troops used by the BEIC rebelled against the British. Conditions were bad in India. Following the rebellion, the British government ended the charter of the British East India Company and took over the management of India, making it a colony, and Queen Victoria became the Empress of India. It remained a British colony until 1947. This time period is known as the British Raj.
