In "The Superior Anglo-Saxon Race", Cecil Rhodes said that the English was the best race and it was their duty to take Africa and influence them. In "The White Man's Burden," Joseph Chamberlain said that in order to prevent Britain themselves from "stagnating", they must conquer other territories first, therefore they deserved to conquer Africa first. Before Britain conquer India, many British traders, the East India Company began trading with Indians in the late 1700s. Later on, they realize that it is more profitable to take over the entire empire, this matches Joseph Chamberlain's argument on why they deserve to take over other territory: they don't want their British Empire to "stagnate" (also just want to become wealthy in reality), therefore they conquer other territory to become richer. After they conquered India, they introduced a new education system and the English language. They even set British laws that banned the Indians' native customs. This action justify the British of believing they are the best race, and they must influence the others.

During the 1800s, the British East India Company took over much of India. The British East India company started out in coastal cities because the Mughal Empire was still powerful. But as the Mughal Empire gradually declined and started to break apart into small states, and the leaders of the British East India Company manipulated the rulers and kept them from cooperating. Eventually, the company took over India and claimed to "restore order" to the empire. The British maintained control of India by controlling the Indian Civil Service (ICS) by showing extreme prejudice against Indians, such as segregation of the neighborhoods and clubs. The biggest barrier to control was how the Indians believed the British were destroying their society when the British Introduced English and the educational system, and the gradual development of India's sense of nationalism. Actions taken by British such as banning certain Indian customs and spreading Christian beliefs made some Indians believe that the British were trying to destroy Indian customs and Hinduism. This led to a rebellion known as the Sepoy Mutiny, which the British responded with extreme brutality. The British ended the rule of the British East India Company in 1858 and created the Indian Civil Service (ICS). As for the development of nationalism, the Indians were furious and frustrated on how the British treated them unequally, which further led to the formation of the Muslim League and the Indian National Congress. In conclusion, British exercise to control change from manipulating rulers to complete and direct control over India.

Originally, India was ruled by rulers of smaller states in the empire and each states was becoming more and more separate with each other, finally ended up falling apart. After the British came, the sense of nationalism within India was hugely increased because the British imperialists made them change their culture, religion, and banned their rights. There are three evidences of how nationalism formed in India. First off, the British introduced a new educational system and the language English, and eventually causing the Indians to think that they were ruining their society. Overtime, the Indians developed the sense of nationalism to protect their society and culture, and the sepoys gathered and started the Sepoy Mutiny. Second, the British imperialists segregated the British and the Indians, and most of the officials in the Indian Civil Service (ICS), the government agency that carried out administration, were British. The Indians were humiliated and infuriated, such feelings gave powerful rise to nationalism. Third of all, Indian middle class and elites found it very disturbing to have so few representation and influence in their own government. In 1885, Ram Mohun Roy, created the Indian National Congress which is composed of English-speaking Indians.This Indian National Congress got the Indians better representation on government councils. The evidence was that when the British announced that they wanted to split Bengal into two provinces. The Indians hought the British wanted to split the Hindu population up, so a boycott called swadeshi rose. Those who participated in the boycott vowed to wear only Indian-made garments, which further shows their rise of nationalism. The evidences listed above show that British imperialism increased the Indians' sense of nationalism as they got together to fight back Britain's arrogant, and unjust rule to gain their rights to culture, religion, and political involvements.
