British Impact on British India: A Review of Article from the Chinese Perspective

Abstract

This paper is based on a qualitative study of the influence of the British Colonial government on the construction and development of British India from perspectives of Chinese scholars. It is based on the survey of the papers with the keywords “British India” or “Colonial India” from 2000 to 2020 in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the most authoritative retrieval platform in China. After the analysis and summary of the research on British India by Chinese scholars, this paper suggests a possible research field for Chinese scholars. The study of British India in Chinese academics can go further with the findings of new historical materials. In the future, a breakthrough in this field will be possible with an emphasized study on relevant historical materials and native language.
