Removed content
Hi! I wanted to explain why I removed the content from Colonial India. I know that the class is over, but this was a lot of content to remove.

The main reason was ultimately that the material was written in an essay style and looked to contain original research. By this I mean that you included claims and research that you created based on the existing sourcing, even if the claims weren't backed up by the sourcing. It was more of a response to the information you found. Basically, content should only summarize what is stated in source material and should not contain phrases like "lead one to believe" or words that give off the impression that the article was written by a specific person. (IE, written from the viewpoint of a single person to be read by an individual.) Wikipedia is fairly picky about how things are written, which can take time to adapt to - it did for me, that's for certain.

Another reason is that the data was all fairly modern, which didn't entirely fit into the article, which is specifically about colonial India. It also covered things like Indian migration to other countries, which isn't in the scope of the article. This is the type of material that would be better in articles such as Indians in Portugal, once the prose has been tweaked to better fit Wikipedia's writing style. I'd heavily encourage you to do this, since you do have some good factual information - it just needs to be re-written a little to remove the original research/essay style, is all.
