3.British Rule(1765-1836)
India, at this point, was
steeped into religious
orthodoxies and superstitions.
Practices like untouchability,
child marriages and low social
status given to women were
just a few to mention.
Britishers scorned the Indians
for these evil practices as well
as for their dishonesty. Their
laws crippled the Indian
industries and strengthened
their rule.
