How did post-colonial critiques contribute towards understanding the effects of imperialism in India?
They found that the British rule led to a thorough westernization of Indian society, erasing all traces of its pre-colonial culture.
They exposed cultural hegemony exerted by Britain over Indian society and its lasting effects after political independence was achieved.
They confirmed that India largely managed to resist British influence in terms of culture and society throughout its history under colonial rule.
They argued that British rule had little impact on Indian culture or societal structures due to strong resistance from local population .
