Discussing the sub-continent, if a throwback to British-India is considered, the British registered their rule and clinched control of India through the Pitts India Act in 1786, where they enforced their law and order, established their civil service, and settled their police force and judicial system in the disorganized and divided India. Although, some believes consider that the hostile events of 1857 marked the historical British rule in India, but such sentiments are indecorous. The off-spirit attempt of 1857 to drive British out of India, proved as a backfire for the Indians and instead cemented British rule in India. The hardships persisted and instead increased for the Indians. This was the immediate effect of the debacle in the 1857 tussle. The battle could have been won but a few differences amid the Indians evaded it to happen. Disunity was the chief flaw as most ordinary people took no part. The Muslims wanted to restore their rule which the Hindus definitely loathed. Many Hindus rolled out the red carpet to the British rule as they favored the British rule. Even the raja of Kashmir sent two thousand troops to British’s aid, during the war. It wasn’t advancement or numbers that showed the war’s result, but only the mere disunity among the variety of Indian people.
After the war, the British’s rule lasted for a further ninety years after which the British left India and the British-India now got divided into India and Pakistan, which was the aftermath of the gruesome sites of partition in 1947. During this tenure, the British left some landmarks in India and also made some infamous history therein. Four famines were a consequence of the British drain of wealth in India, in which fifteen million people lost their lives. And the Spanish Flu, which emerged and spread in 1918 also claimed the lives of eighteen million Indians only because the British had sidelined the development of the Indian healthcare system. On the other hand, the British also carried out some developments which were worthy of praise. A massive irrigation system was established and a network of railways and telegraphs was set up to enhance communication and transport. This also was a selfish effort, as railways could help prompt transit of goods and also of troops during rebellions. And the system of telegraph was aimed to establish contact with every part of India and keep it under control. The work that outclassed all of these was that the British left a potent influence of their culture and language in the minds of the Indians. British culture was considered as a sense of superiority in the sub-continent. And unfortunately this effect remains to date.
Although the Indians got independence seventy-two years back, the still seem to be the slaves of the Englishmen. They have betrayed their own culture and are eagerly following the British culture. They all are still under mental slavery. Even they ridicule their own religion, especially in Pakistan, and prefer western mode of life over the Islamic mode of life. These statements are verily difficult to pen-down and hard to read, but surely truth is often bitter. People such as feminists, have arose as a result of the western culture and have initiated objecting a few mandates of Islam. In actual, there is no such thing as a feminist and those who claim to be feminists, are just foolish and senseless individuals who are a target of scarcity of knowledge. These people, including those who favor western beliefs, are all slaves of the west, despite being independent. Therefore these are termed as ‘Independent but slaves’.
