India is a vast country whose history has been very unique and full of struggle. The British ruled here for 300 years. The presence of the British brought many changes in the condition of India. While on the one hand, there was an economic loss to the country, there were many losses as well. However, on the contrary, there have been many good changes in the country, such as the end of many social evils. At the same time, there have been many constructions during British rule, about which we are going to tell you today. Today the British have left India but even today the buildings and roads built by them show their love for architecture. Today in this episode, we are going to tell about those constructions which were built before the independence of India.
