Answer
The British introduced some reforms to improve the conditions of the people. But these were not welcomed by the majority of Indians and they felt that their sentiments were ignored. Modern innovations like telegraph and railways, the shifting of emphasis from oriental learning to western education, and the policies of racial discrimination were resented by the people.
