The Real India

The Real India by J. D. Rees offers a critical exploration of British colonial rule in India, focusing on its socio-political and economic effects. Rees argues that while colonialism aimed to modernize India, it instead led to the exploitation and impoverishment of its people. He highlights the contradictions of British policies, pointing out the damage done to India’s traditional industries, agriculture, and social fabric. Through this work, Rees offers a perspective on India’s struggles under colonialism and the lasting impacts of British imperialism, urging readers to understand the true consequences of colonial dominance.
