The terms Colonialism,Postcolonialism and Imperialism according to me...
1.Colonialism-
Colonialism is about to went and live to another country or land and establish own colonies.
2. Postcolonialsm-
Postcolonialism is a term where people who are Independent or not colonized by other country or people but though they have an impact of colonizers upon them.
3. Imperialism-
Imperialism is a term about people who are ruled by any king or queen and having belief in Emperor.
•Colonialism,Postcolonialsm and Imperialism according to Ania Loomba:-
Ania Loomba- Indian author of Colonialism-Postcolonialism and works as a literature professor at the university of Pensylvania.
The word colonialism, according to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), comes
from the Roman ‘colonia’ which meant ‘farm’ or ‘settlement’, and
referred to Romans who settled in other lands but still retained their
citizenship.
Accordingly, the OED describes it as:
a settlement in a new country … a body of people who settle in a new
locality, forming a community subject to or connected with their par-
ent state; the community so formed, consisting of the original settlers
and their descendants and successors, as long as the connection with
the parent state is kept up.
This definition, quite remarkably, avoids any reference to people other
than the colonisers, people who might already have been living in those
places where colonies were established. Hence it evacuates the word
‘colonialism’ of any implication of an encounter between peoples, or of
conquest and domination.

● Colonialism can be defined as the conquest & control over that other people's land and goods.
2.Imperialism-
In the early 20th century, Lenin & Kautsky gave a new meaning to the world " Imperialism" by linking it to a particular stage of the development of Capitalism.
In Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1947), Lenin argued that the growth of
‘finance-capitalism’ and indu
‘finance-capitalism’ and indu
stry in the Western countries had created an ‘ enormous superabundance of capital’. This money could not be profitably invested at home where labour was limited. The colonies lacked
capital but were abundant in labour and human resources. Therefore it needed to move out and subordinate non-industrialized countries to sustain it's own growth.

● Thus, imperialism, colonialism and the differences between them are defined differently depending on their historical mutations.
● Post 1857 Queen Victoria established the Imperialism , but before it's colonised by East India Company.
3.Postcolonialism-
These different understandings of colonialism and imperialism complicate the meanings of the term ‘postcolonial’, a term that is the subject of an ongoing debate. It might seem that because the age of
colonialism is over, and because the descendants of once-colonised peoples live everywhere, the whole world is postcolonial.
colonialism is over, and because the descendants of once-colonised peoples live everywhere, the whole world is postcolonial.
