Özet:Was British imperialism in India an authoritarian rule or a collaborative one? How did the Indians resist, react, or adapt to the modernity introduced by the British? How did the British respond to their Indian context? Did the colonisers transplant western ideology and institutions without experiencing an exchange of ideas and practices in return? To deal with these questions, the study focuses on the architectural developments in Karachi during the British Raj (1858-1947) and investigates how the reforms introduced by the Raj transformed and modernised the society and its architecture, particularly the colonial domestic architecture.
