Quote by Benjamin Disraeli

Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent.


Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are indepe

Summary

This quote suggests that attaining independence does not automatically eliminate the colonial mentality or dynamics within a nation. Merely achieving political freedom does not necessarily dismantle the structures and attitudes that uphold colonization or its effects. Even after gaining independence, former colonies may continue to experience the economic, cultural, or social impacts of their colonial history. This quote emphasizes that true emancipation entails addressing the systemic remnants of colonialism that persist even in independent nations.
