Answers
Answer:
The Republic of India is located in South Asia and bordered by Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan – all historically part of the Indian subcontinent or greater India. It is the world’s seventh largest country in terms of geographical size. It is also the world’s largest democracy demographically and the second most populous country after China. It is also a very diverse country with different cultures and religions mutually coexisting. Hindi and English are the official languages for federal business while the constitution recognizes the existence of many other languages.
Explanation:
The past of the British Raj refers to the period of British rule on the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. The system of governance was instituted in 1858 when the rule of the East India Company was transferred to the Crown in the person of Queen Victoria (who in 1876 was proclaimed Empress of India). It lasted until 1947, when the British provinces of India were partitioned into two sovereign dominion states: the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, leaving the princely states to choose between them. The two new dominions later became the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (the eastern half of which, still later, became the People's Republic of Bangladesh). The province of Burma in the eastern region of the Indian Empire had been made a separate colony in 1937 and became independent in 1948.
