Negative-- Indian raw materials were going to waste because they were forced to import from England to give England money!. Although Britain established a government in India, they did not allow natives to serve in the government offices!. Traditional craft industries (ship building, etc!.) were eliminated causing the unemployment rate to rise!.


Positive-- When the British colonized India they built 40,000 miles of railroad and 70,000 miles of paved roadway!. Spread of cultivation and industry!. No famines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
