In the early 20th century, when Britain had control of India, how did they feel about serving them? Were they honorable men? Why or why not?
Thanks! :D
Answer
I am not understanding what you mean by the British SERVING the Indians.... ?
I know that the British USED the INDIANS to "service" THEM.
The British made the Indians servants, well, they "hired" them if that is what you wish to call it.
I recently had a neighbor whose father was a small child during the British occupation of India. The boy had been offered a job as a houseboy in a British officer's home BUT he had to have a pair of shoes to get the job. His entire family had to come together, uncles, aunts and cousins included to pool all their money to buy the boy a pair of shoes so he could get this job to be able to help support his family.
The officer never considered that the boy's family was simply too poor to afford shoes and just figured the child was a semi-barbarian and was doing him a favor by working him 12-14 hrs a day for a very small pittance, and not as a young man feeding his family.
An Elitist attitude will do that.
Indian soldiers serving in the military were mostly strong, honorable men, serving on BOTH sides.
Of course, the British looked down upon them as inferiors.
Not all, but most.
Conquerors always feel superior.
I guess it really depended on what side you were on, the British side or the opposing Indian side.
Keep in mind that India was already a great, complex, learned, and ANCIENT society when Alexander the Great invaded them..... while residents of the British Isles were running around in fur loinclothes.
Just not really sure what you are asking here.

How do I run a non-profit school in the developing world?
Fenix
I am currently researching how best to approach building a school in the developing world. I plan to save enough money for overhead like purchasing land and building a center. However, I want to know what would be the best way to keep it operating. I want to model it off of the Barefoot College in India by providing education on sustainable living and literacy. I am open to all comments.
Answer
I don't have many tips besides make sure it is accessible to children in the area, be it physically, and through the rules. In other words, don't have rules requiring superfluous things like shoes if you want a good turnout. But anything at all you do to help those kids is a step in the right direction, and every one of them you help is beyond good for our global society. The world needs more people like you.
