- Abstract:
- This article critically analyses the modern function of the British Council, which operates as a primarily educational organisation in many formerly-colonised nations such as India and Pakistan. Here, I argue that the ways in which the British Council aims to spread British culture around the globe is a direct continuation of British imperial policies and furthers the harmful historical erasure that allows imperialism to persist today.
