Abstract This article examines the profound social and economic transformations in Indian society during British colonial rule from 1757 to 1947. It explores the impacts of colonial policies on social structures, including the reinforcement of caste dynamics, the introduction of Western education, and the emergence of social reform movements. Economically, the article delves into agricultural changes, industrial decline, and the economic exploitation encapsulated in the Drain Theory. Politically, it addresses the establishment of a centralized administration, legal reforms, and the rise of Indian nationalism. Cultural and religious impacts, such as religious reform movements and cultural syncretism, are also analyzed. Through this comprehensive analysis, the article aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex legacy of British colonialism in India, highlighting both its detrimental and transformative effects on Indian society.
Keywords British colonialism, Indian society, economic changes, social reforms, caste dynamics, Western education, nationalism, cultural syncretism, agricultural transformation, industrial decline, Drain Theory, legal reforms, religious movements.
