Answers
➡The British Raj was a time when the British ruled India from 1858 to 1947. British rule in India was initially represented by East India Company which was primarily a trading corporation that came to India to trade and received concessions from Indian rulers. However, with the industrial revolution and growing British economic interests, the British empire indulged in territorial expansion establishing political control as well over these areas, thus emerging as a Colonial Power where it extended its influence and power. The British were attracted towards the country's rich resources like spices, silk, gold and wanted to be part of the trade process that had been carried on by the Portuguese. They wanted to trade, exploit and loot resources. Britain wanted to establish control over rich natural resources of the colonies and ensure the supply of raw materials and goods and to expand the market for their goods. Political occupation of the country helped in expanding further trade and provided ready markets for goods manufactured in Britain. It also provided them with cheap labour.
