Question 2

Tea Market

Answer 2

• Thomas Lipton, a Glasgow merchant, came to India with his company in the late 19th century to develop the tea market.
• This impacted India because this led to the development of tea plantations, meaning India could have access to more diverse resources.

Question 3

Railway Network

Answer 3

• James Ramsay, 1st Marquess of Dalhousie, oversaw the creation of a huge railway network that connected remote areas of India to large cities and built new roads and canals.
• This impacted India because Indian people could now ravel between areas and access what they had to offer, and the transport of good was made easier meaning they could reach areas they hadn’t before.

Question 4

Education Establishment

Answer 4

• Rev Duff opened an educational establishment in India in 1930 to spread the word of God and increase literacy levels.
• This impacted India because his establishment would increase opportunities through the use of English Language, and this aspect would reach other areas of India as his model was rolled out into other Indian cities.

Question 5

Suttee

Answer 5

• Dalhousie banned suttee, the Hindu practice where a widow would throw herelf on the funeral pyre of her dead husband.
• This impacted India because the culture surrounding women would change from their identity revolving around their husbands to independence.

Question 6

Thugghee

Answer 6

• Dalhousie clamped down on thugghee, the term used to describe an organised group of killers who would attack travellers and strangle them.
• This impacted India because the lack of thugghee individuals meant that culture towards travellers could be more tolerable.

Question 7

Girl’s Schools

Answer 7

• Rev Duff is credited with opening girl’s schools in India, one example being the Duff High School for Girls in 1857.
• This impacted India because girls would be given education just as boys were, and therefore receive more equal opportunity.
