From the Paper:

"Gandhi's Role in Liberating Women during the Indian Movement for Self Rule India was colonized by the British in the early 1800s, and India was not able to repel its powerful oppressor until 1947. During that time, the British changed many things within India, as is usual with colonizers. They attempted to impose their Christian religion, their English language, the British educational system, and their Western culture on India. However, as often happens with a strong, ancient culture, India was able to retain much of its distinct Eastern culture, despite almost 150 years of colonization."
