Effects on India

You would think that imperialism was bad for India, but it helped restore order to the country side. The British revised the legal system to promote justice for the Indians regardless of class. The upper class sent their sons to British schools, where they trained for posts in the civil service and military. Imperialism helped the trade in India; railroads were built throughout the country. Landowners were growing cash crops and becoming very rich. The telegraph and postal system let them communicate more easily then before. Greater contact helped bridge regional differences and opened the way for Indians to develop a sense of national unity.
