Question

How did British colonialists practice their divide and rule' policy in India? How
was it similar or different from what you have studied about Nigeria?​

Answer 1

In 1857, the 'Great Mutiny' broke out in which the Hindus and Muslims jointly fought against the British. This shocked the British government so much that after suppressing the Mutiny, they decided to start the policy of divide and rule (see online “History in the Service of Imperialism” by B.N. Pande).
