Marc P. Bradley’s view of British colonialism in India

Marc P. Bradley is a professor of International History at The University of Chicago and the author of book such as Vietnam at War: The Search for Meaning and Imagining Vietnam and America: The Making of Postcolonial Vietnam, 1919-1950. This is his view on British colonialism in India:

“Historians have achieved no consensus in their judgments of the character and consequences of the British raj. In the broadest sense, the issues in dispute might be summed up by the question: Was British rule in India destructive or creative? Was its essence the exploitation and the impoverishment of the country for the benefit of alien rulers? Or, in contrast, did British rule serve to infuse a new dynamism into a hitherto stagnant and backward society, and to lay the essential groundwork for India’s ultimate modernization? Finally, is it possible that British rule was both destructive and creative at the same time?”

In fact, a great deal of scholars over the world have written about the British Colonialism and what impact it had especially on Indian world. However, they never came to a general agreement wether this was a positive or negative fact. That is to say, wether it provided the country with rich cultural variety and an advanced society or it just left it for the worse.

Chris Pirillo: Twitter toki ona da pentsatzen ari zarena munduari esateko, pentsatzeko aukera izan baino lehen

Goiz altzatu. “Ez mesedez, gaur ez…” Betiko ohiuak plazan. Bizitza aurrera doa. Munduak biraka jarraitzen du. Klasera joan. Etxera bueltatu. Ordenagailua piztu. Twitter. Facebook. Tuenti. Liburuak mahai azpian, botata.Denbora aurrera doa. Twitter. Facebook. Tuenti. Gaua heltzen da. Twitter. Facebook. Tuenti. Hurrengo eguna. Egunerokotasuna.

Nor gara? Zertan bihurtu gara? Non daude gure nerabeak? Non ahaztu dugu haien heziketa? Eta gurea? Denbora aurrera doa… gu gabe. Atzean gelditzen ari gara, ahazturik. Gizakiaren gizatasuna bakartuta gelditzen ari da, toki zikin eta txiki batean murgildurik; nerabeen eta gizartearen arima berriak sortzen ari dira egunero, izen berritsuekin: Twitter, Facebook, Tuenti.

The key to the future: social networks and global communication

William Uricchio suggests that  “the future of social media is rooted in the past”. Social networking is a natural consequence of our human condition: Aristotle claimed more than 2000 years ago that man is by nature a social animal. Mankind has always sought new and more sophisticated ways to communicate. We witnessed the dawn of a digital era that will surpass everything we ever imagined in terms of information flow. Internet transformed our lifestyles and social behavior, as the physical world and the limitations implied do not exist in cyberspace. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn allow us to meet our friends and reach and interact with almost anybody online: for the first time in history, a new boundless parallel world of communication lays open to discovery. What will the next step be?
