The Indian Subcontinent

Paper Summary:

The paper examines four current nations on the Indian subcontinent: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. The writer proposes that an examination of these nations will demonstrate how colonialism has forever changed societies in the region that have a history that can be traced back for at least 5,000 years. The paper discusses how, even though the region has a civilized history dating back five millennia, British rule only accounted for about 180 years

From the Paper:

"It is impossible to discuss the Indian subcontinent in terms of colonialism without also discussing the historically central role that the British Empire played in shaping the organization development of the nations that were born in the mid 20th century in that region following decolonization. The will of the British Empire has had a lasting impact on the region."
