its june 2008 q 2c
By indian resistance, they mean the various efforts of the indian rulers to defeat the British. the events between 1750-1850.

as it is 14 marks, you have to give proper detail. start with a simplistic statement like

''The british gradually took control of the territories in the sub continent during 1750-1850, and all resistance failed.''


then u start one by one the events:
Battle of Plassey 1757, gained Bengal.
Battle of Buxar 1764, gained bihar and orissa.
the Mysore war( tipu sultan), gained south india
War against the marathas 1818, gained Deccan
annexation of sindh 1843,
annexation of punjab after Sikh War 1849
describe each in 3-5 lines, naming the people involved.

Then explain why the british were victorious, superior in weapons, organized army, funding from England, communication and spy system. on the other hand the indians lacked all this, and they had no leader and no planned army. give it 1 paragraph or a bit more.

end with a conclusion, similar to the starting statement.

Hope i cud help you!:)

In my opinion.
-We just have to write about the British that how they took the territory of Indian subcontinent.
-Annexation of Sindh and Punjab.
-The wars between British and the Nawabs of Oudh and others.
-The doctrine of lapse, the policy which was made by British to take control of the subcontinent.
-And at last we just have to write about the Successes and failures Indian subcontinent in protecting their territory.
-Evaluation statement at the end.

Plz correct me if i m wrong! :)

In this we have to describe the following reforms:
-Morley-minto reforms 1909
-Montague Chelmsford reform 1919.
-Lucknow pact 1916 also

not wrong at all! :) i gave a bit of exlplanation, but my point was the same as you have mentioned!
the annexations, ''The wars between British and the Nawabs of Oudh and others'' is basically Plassey, Buxar and ''others'' are Marathas and Tipu Sultan!
and the rest, the concluion and why the indians were defeated..:) So, you're answer is completely correct!

''The british gradually took control of the territories in the sub continent during 1750-1850, and all resistance failed.''

then briefly state why they were there in the first place. trade etc.

Battle of Plassey 1757, gained Bengal.

THIS IS AN UNSTRUCTURED QUESTION, i.e that there are no marks for UNDERSTANDING.
in this question the pattern will be:-
10 marks for knowledge + 4 marks for evaluation
lets divide the question into two halves:-
Failure:-
battle of plassey
battle of buxar
annexation of oudh
annexation of sindh
annexation of punjab
defeat of tipu sultan
defeat of marathas

Successes:-
defeat of EIC from Haider ali
the threat of Rangit Singh
loss of three or two wars from indo-afghanistan

in the END give the evaluation statement that is the failure of indians.
NOTE:- the question is 'HOW' not 'WHY' that means no explanation is to be given only description!!
