What to Focus On

  • Colonialism means rule by one country over another.
  • British colonialism was capitalist in nature.
  • Pre-capitalist conquerors extracted tribute without major interference in the economic base.
  • Capitalism means private ownership of the means of production for profit.
  • British colonialism was tied to the growth of British capitalism.
  • Colonial change in India was deep, wide-ranging, and structurally significant.
  • Colonialism caused internal migration and overseas migration.
  • Tea plantations in Assam depended on imported labour.
  • People were also sent from India to plantations in other colonies.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Colonialism is only foreign rule, so it did not really change the economic and social structure of India.

Industrialisation always increases urbanisation in the same way everywhere.

Deindustrialisation means all industry disappeared from India.
