Answer 1

The most problematic and polarising aspect of the British empire's existence is undoubtedly its reign over India. Supporters of British rule mention the legal system, administrative framework, and the fact that India became the hub of global politics.

• Critics of British rule point out that the majority of Indians received no benefits, while the small British ruling class received all of these advantages.
• Before the British arrived, the majority of Indians were underprivileged and oppressed by their own leaders, yet, proponents of British authority claim that British rule was less oppressive toward common Indians than that of Indian rulers.
• The fact that India was different from the other parts of the empire's realms may be the fundamental reason for the severity and intricacy of the discussions.
• For instance, compared to the UK, North America and Australia were less developed economically and had a sparser population. When the British landed in India in the 1700s, it was far more populous and well-established than Britain.

The British were able to seize control of India because it was not unified. Several of the sovereign nations that comprised India negotiated agreements, forged trade and military alliances with, and cooperated with.
