Answers
Explanation:the britishers were very confident before may 1857 because they thought that they were educated and india also didnt have any kind of unity as we all know of slave dynasty and other dynasties and there was only one goal for all kings to conquer whole india so britishers took the advantage for conquering india this all was started when the britishers came to india for spices and it started from the east india company i hope you will understand the history of india
The British became confident about their position in India because of the following reasons:
a. The Mughal rulers, after the death of Aurangzeb, were not strong and powerful. Hence, it was easier for the British to annex states.
b. The disunity among nawabs and the Mughal rulers helped the British have a firm stronghold over Indian society, starting from Bengal.
c. The policies, like Subsidiary Alliance, helped British annex territories one after another, without the use of any military power.
d. The revolt of 1857 was crushed by the British leading to their supremacy over Indian society.
