A 16-page history lesson is the fourth in our series aimed at a sixth-grade audience. It covers the period from 1850 to 1947, when India was colonized by the British. As our readers know, Indian history in Western textbooks for children is appallingly inaccurate and skewed toward the strange.

This segment continues our effort to rectify that, to give well-researched lessons that tell the true story of India’s place in the world down through the centuries. Here we present the facts about the British occupancy, their economic exploitation and sometimes ruthless repressions. Get ready to discover lots of new insights into those difficult days before Independence.
