Explanation: A country is called postcolonial if it came into existence after the colonies of the British and the Europeans were abolished and the countries then under their rule were declared independent.

India was under the British colonial rule till $1947,$ i.e. it was a former British colony and thus is called a postcolonial country.

So, A is the correct option.
