With reference to colonization, which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
Answer: C
The statement that is not correct is In colonial India, agriculture had no capitalist element.
Colonial rule commercialised Indian agriculture. Cash crops such as indigo, cotton, jute, opium, tea and coffee were grown for the market and for export, and plantations were run as capitalist enterprises with wage labour. So agriculture did have a capitalist element.
The first two statements are correct: imperialism as an ideology justifies conquest and domination, and colonial economies are often described as dualistic, with a modern capitalist sector beside a traditional one. Since one statement is not correct, 'None of the above' fails.
