Answer:

Indians were put out of power, especially political power. India lost its self-identity and once known for its rich culture, became the slave to British colonizers.

Answer:

There are three major sets of negative influences that the British had on India.

Economical - They bled India dry, exploited Indian natural resources, market and labor while giving them minimal returns.

Political - They started the divide and rule policy, effectively creating an enmity between Hindus and Muslims and fanned the narrative that the two communities cannot peacefully coexist. The paranoia was of course used by the Muslim Nawabs and feudal lords who like their Hindu counterparts (Maharajas and zameendars) did nothing for their commoners. The partition, at least the way it was implemented by the British is another example of a political blunder, the burden of which we still bear.

Social - The British mistreated Indians, distorted their history and had them live as second class citizens in their own country for around 200 years. They believed that Indians were inferior to them and there are literally thousands of acts of atrocities that they had committed on Indians. People died in famines, British did not care, Indian soldiers died fighting battles for them, British did not reward. When they left, we were economically broke, socially divided, thousands of refugees on either side due to an ill managed partition. Luckily, for India we had secular leaders, who did not let the madness go on for much longer and luckily for India we joined NAM which paid back 30 years down the line.

What was the wilmot proviso, and how did it impact the national debate over slavery?.
Mila [183]

David Wilmot was a Pennsylvania-born congressman who opposed slavery. His "proviso"—a clause tacked on to a number of legislation being debated in Congress—prohibited slavery in all of the new territory won from Mexico following the Mexican War. Although the proviso was well-liked in the North, it was vehemently opposed by the South and never became a part of the legislation.  It declared that slavery would be outlawed in any new area that the United States might take over from Mexico. The argument over whether slavery still exists in the West was rekindled.
