Question

How does the map of modern South Asia demonstrate the lingering effects of the British colonial rule

Answer 1

Answer:

The main effect of the British Colonial Rule that can be still seen in the image is that prior to the British Colonization, South Asia was much more politically divided: there were many more kingdoms. The British unified the region, in order to make it easier to manage. Railroads were built all over the territory for this purpose, and to ease communication, and political administration was centralized.
