The reasons fro the confidence of the British before the revolt of 1857 were: The rebellions and riots that took place before 1857 were localised in nature and were easily suppressed by the British. The powers of the rajas and nawabs were limited by the mid 18th century.

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.
