how did the british view the position of villages in north indian society ? what were the implications of their viewpoints
Answers
Answer:
In the midst of busy London, the Oriental Club off Oxford Street seems a haven of peace and power.
Founded as a home for the Britons who ruled India in the days of the Raj, its wood panels, leather armchairs and faint smell of mulligatawny soup convey an image of ordered dominance to which many now look back with nostalgia.
That image still dominates our view of British rule, whether in dramas depicting emotionally constipated British officers like Channel 4's Indian Summers or features extolling the virtues of British power.
It is present even in the most vehement criticisms of the Raj. Like the defenders of British rule, its fiercest detractors assume it was an effective system of government - they just think its power was malevolent, not benign.

'Never intended to rule'
But this image of order and control is a fiction, which belies the reality of life in British India. For 200 years, from the mid 18th Century to independence and partition in 1947, the British presided over a regime that was chaotic, violent, driven by uncontrolled passions and profoundly wracked by anxiety.
The British never intended to rule India.
