Question

Read the following paragraph and write your comments. 

'' In fact, cities such as Mumbai and Chennai were further developed by the colonial powers to better exploit the natural resources of India. The fight for Visakhapatnam was for similar reasons. Visakhapatnam as we now know it, is made up of several other places. After the British took it over, its boundaries were redrawn several times and have been constantly expanding. ''

Answer 1

1. The given paragraph says that when the British people came to India a few dries like Mumbai and Chennai were developed for the sake of exploiting our natural resources. 

2. Visakhapatnam is also one of the cities developed like that. 

3. Much development is seen in Visakhapatnam once it came under the control of the British. 

4. My comments on this paragraph are that the colonial rulers concentrated on their profits and benefits but not the development of India. 

5. They did the same in Africa and Asian countries. 

6. I conclude with this suggestion that after Independence our rulers should have concentrated on the development of many cities and towns.

7. Now Visakhapatnam is expanding in all comers. Other cities also should be developed similar way.
