Titel 11 India: Past and Present (EXAM)

At its peak, the British Empire was the largest formal empire that the world had ever known and India was what was called "the crown in the jewel". This is what we'll deal with in this subject. We'll look at Britain as a colonial power, how the British looked upon themselves, and how they looked upon the Indians. Additionally, we'll deal with aspects of present-day India such as slums, marriage and climate activism. In this context, we'll also look at English as lingua franca.
