Libraries were recognized very old in India. Whether its legend or history, as the story goes, the name of Vikrmadiyta is associated with Ujjain, who cultivated the muses and left a permanent imprint on the social and cultural tradition of India. A Public library is one that serves the entire population of a community. Everyone in the society, in spite of nationality, competition, shade, faith, grow old, sex, status, learning attainments, language or any such considerations has a claim to service as a matter of right. Beginning of 20th century the libraries were only open for specific persons of the society not for general public.

‘The Maharaja calls W. A. Borden from America for organizing the library system of the state. He organized library training classes, started a journal named Library Miscellany, established the State Central Library with separate wings for women and children. In about 20 years almost all towns and about 1,100 villages had libraries of their own.’ Like this in this way the modern Public Library movement in India is said to have begun in Baroda during the first decade of the century. ‘The subscription library started at the Fort Williams in 1770 was later on converted into a public library in the early 19th century.

The British improved and modernized India which formed their efficiency that they have today. They established railroads and bridges so people can travel thru their country easier. The British also ingrained a fair trading system between India and British. Some may claim that it was not fair because the Indian textiles were getting sold less and less. From 1790 and so on the sales of Indian textiles progressively declined (Doc. 6).
Facing East from Indian Country by Daniel Richter is--without question--one of the most effective studies of Native American history. Richter’s previous book, The Ordeal of the Longhouse, which viewed the European invasion of northeastern America from the perspective of the Iroquois peoples of modern New York a similar awareness of early American history. Facing East challenges the instilled perspective of westward expansion from the early sixteenth century well into the nineteenth. By viewing the early European-Indian encounter through the eyes of the Native Americans, this revolutionary examination intends to “turn familiar tales inside out, to show how old documents might be read in fresh ways...and to outline stories of North America”

Most of the governmental systems didn’t help the indians in fact the things Britain put into place for india only made india profitable for britain. While the British believed that they helped India by setting up a government and military system India disagreed. In fact, they believed that britain caused problems in the Indian way of life. An example of this is british imperial rule established the framework for India 's justice system (Lalvani).
The British coming into power also stopped the economic development in India. India as a whole nation was in 100,000,000 dollars on debt.(Fordham). The British gained lots of its wealth and India was in so much debt because of the oppressive taxes the British
For the time, railroads were the fastest and most cost-efficient way to travel, appealing to people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Other documents like 3 and 6 demonstrate how people valued and appreciated the invention of railroads. The documents declare the empire would fall to enemies without the set up of them, and that the success of their empire was riding on the building of such railroads, not being able to achieve their goals without the development of the railroads. In Document 7 the author gushes about how the railroads have unified his country and brought his people together in a way he had not seen before. He claims that it was “the birth of a common national and patriotic sentiment” for India.

Karlie Bishop HIST 2055 February 14, 2023 Soul of an Indian: What is an Indian?

Deciding on a location in the Indian Territory is a major choice. This weighs heavily on the natural geography of the territories. I wouldn’t want to live in the higher elevation of the Indian Territory, the reason being, that it’s hard to farm on land that is not flat. The land is smoother and flatter on the eastern side of the territory. It would be wise to pick a location that has a long growing season.
Between the years 1450 and 1750, the world was changing at a rapid, breakneck pace. Across the globe, Europe expanded and colonialized, scientists and philosophers developed new ideas and inventions, and gunpowder empires formed and reached their peak. On such empire was the Mughal Empire, located in India from the 1500s to the mid-1800s. The rise of the Mughal empire surely highlights the altering political, cultural, and religious landscape of India. From 1450 to 1750, India underwent massive changes in government, culture, religion—paradoxically, religion and the caste system were the shred of continuity in India during that time.
“At the schools the students were stripped of their culture as if it were clothing.” This statement from a paper written by Sarah E Stone explains the poor treatment of the Indians in the boarding schools. This paper also perfectly states not only the treatment of the Indian children but, also the great lengths taken to change them. It seems like such a simple task for the enforcers yet an awful act in general. American Indian children and the wolf girls at St. Lucy’s were forced to assimilate into the civilized culture of the white man through many approaches and techniques that in the end ultimately reached the goal of the enforcers, which ended with benefits to society but not to the Indian children or the girls.
In India the writing system has not been discovered yet. ” In contrast to cuneiform and hieroglyphics, the Harappan language has been impossible to decipher” (Beck 48) The writing would be an economical characteristic since not every single person was able to learn the writing systems. For example the poor people were not able to learn
