hey, my parents were both born in india and i had an assignment similar!.
for imperialism, it was clearly the British!.!.!.!. they wanted to "save india" by providing them with a clear government under their rule!. they also liked india for its resources (spices for example)!. India was one of britain's best colonies!. British killed many Indians while they tried to gain independence!. They did have some positive influences though, such as building railroads, colleges, and making English a unifying language!. Best bet for a summary is wikipedia!.

for independence, look up the "quit india" movement!.!. gandhi of course!.!. non violence civil disobedience

good luck!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
