You can not do anything about it. Foreigners will manage all, everything in your country. From taxation to social structure, colonial rulers over all, you are real indigenous people, suffering tyranny and repression. None of us wish to become a citizen of such a country, but this is the fate of millions of local people in many countries of the world during the imperialist era. Imperialism is defined as "building and maintaining inequitable economic, cultural and territorial relationships, usually between states, based on control and subordination."

George Orwell's novel Burmese era was founded in Burma in the 1920s under British colonialism. It is focused on the British imperialism and the influence on British, British and Indians, and relations between Indians. The novel is concentrated in the town of Kyauktada in northern Myanmar. Kyauktada is said to be hot and stuffy. This is a small town of about 4000 people. The majority of residents are Burmese, but there are also 100 Indians, 2 Eurasians, 60 Chinese and 7 Europeans. (P.16) It is close to the jungle and the Irrawaddy River. There are many trees and flowers including honeysuckle. Britons are doing a lot of work to drink whiskey at the club, but they retreat from the "stabbed" heat, take a nap, occasionally play tennis and hunt. English does not have much physical activity, but does not complain.

Colonialism affected the texture of British families living in India. British and Indian children live in the Indian subcontinent, and there are no long-lasting houses. Soon after birth, many children had to part from their father for six to seven months to avoid summer heat. Their daily lives were disturbed by the transfer of their normal father's work. As these children become seven, many of them return to the UK without their parents. Therefore, unlike British colleagues, British and Indian children rarely live a stable family life with their parents. British middle class children in Victoria often attend boarding schools in a few months, but British and Indian children often do not meet their parents for years.
