3. How did imperialism contribute to
unity and the growth of
nationalism in India?

The British began to control India, so the Indians felt like they were second class in their own country. They didn't like how they were being treated by the British, so they increased their feelings of nationalism. They tried fighting against the British, which caused things like the Sepoy Mutiny.
