NCERT Solutions for Class 8 History Chapter 6 – This chapter looks at how colonialism changed cities in India, and no, we’re not talking about swanky malls or skyscrapers. 😜 The British altered the cityscapes, built railways, roads, and ports, and tried to ‘modernize’ India to fit their needs. While the British saw cities as centers of control, for Indians, cities like Calcutta (now Kolkata) became hubs for political and social movements. 🌆
The solutions explore the major changes in architecture, urban planning, and even the rise of new classes like the middle class, who got their rise through trade and commerce during British rule. However, despite these changes, there were also struggles, including overcrowding and the worsening of public health. The colonial vision of cities wasn’t as pretty as they thought. 🏙️
