Positive Impact: Some positive impact of the British rule in India were the introduction of the railways, post and telegraph system for masses, introduction of Western sceinces and the English language. However, it is to be noted that the British intorduced railways for its own benifits. Railways helped in the transportation of raw materials and finished goods from one part of the country tot he other. Telegraph and railways also provided to the British a faster means of transport and communication respectvely. Western education was introduced to create a class of Indians who would be Indian in blood but English in manners. This was done to create a feeling of loyality amongst the Indian masses.

Based on the above points we can say that though the British rule had both positive and negative impact on India, overall the colonial rule was a disaster for the Indian economy and the people.
