British had adopted different policies after India had become their colony

Explanation:

Economic Policy

Land and Revenue Policy

  • It had to be borne primarily by Indian peasant or ryot to support the company's trading and revenues, administrative expenses and the wars of British expansion in India. The burden of the India farmer was therefore steeply higher. Indeed, virtually all significant reforms in the government and the judiciary until 1813 centred on land revenue collection. They had done so by their servants either directly or indirectly via intermediaries, including zamindars, revenue farmers, etc. who had received the farm revenue  from the farmer & kept part of it as their fee.

The Drain of Wealth Policy

Englishmen who work and trade in India were almost always preparing to return to the UK and the Indian govt was dominated by  international traders corporation & the UK government. The British then invested much of the taxes and revenue derived from the Indians in their own country (UK), not India, but England

  • The Diwani of Bengal was purchased by the Comprises in 1765 and thus managed their profits. The Company managed the drain directly quickly even more than its representatives. It started purchasing and selling Indian products from Bengal 's revenues. This purchasing was considered 'investments.' Bengal 's income was then sent to England through 'Investments.' The drain was an excess of India's imports, for which India earned no return. The drain represented almost 9% of India's national revenue by the end of the 18th century. 

The Commercial Policy

  • The position of the East India Company in India from 1600 to 1757 was that of a trading company which brought commodity or valuable metal into India and traded it for Indian commodities such as textiles & spices, that it sold outside India. Its sales mostly came from exporting Indian products abroad.
  • But British manufacturers have from the very start been jealous of Indian textiles' success in Britain. The British manufacturers forced the government to regulate and forbid the selling in England of Indian products. By 1720 legislation prohibiting the use or use of cotton cloths in print or coloured material had been passed.
  • In comparison, the manufacture of plain cloth levied high duties. Most countries in Europe, with the exception of Holland, either banned or imposed heavy import duties on Indian cloth.

Social and Cultural Policy

  • The British adopted until 1813 CE a policy of non-intervention in the life of a fellow Indian in government, religion and culture. In other words, they were dreaming about introducing a "global modernisation." The British monarch was colonial and exploitative, rooted in a colonial modern form of imperial values after 1813.
  • In contrasting Indian literature with rationalism, humanism and the development theory, they initiated a new phase of thought. They began to advocate Western thinking supremacy. By claiming the Indian text lost confidence in rationality and a rational mindset, they tried to establish "inferiority complex ". After generating animosity among Indians over their language and culture, Western education had been introduced by removing the Indian heritage.
  • For the purpose of ruling India, they had trained and educate a select community of high and middle classes who will serve as interpreters between the government and the public. There were also a number of acts and amendments such as the  "General Committee of Public Instruction", 1823;" Lord Macaulay’s Education Policy," 1835; and "Wood’s Dispatch"..

Political Policy

Subsidiary Alliance

  • The Subsidiary Alliance System was “Non-Intervention Policy” to establish British Rule in India. In this, every Indian ruler had to  to pay a subsidy to the British for the maintaining the British army.  In return, British protected them from their enemies that gave British the chance of enormous expansion.

Doctrine of Lapse

  • Lapse 's ideology was the pro-imperialist response in India to the extension of the British Empire. It was implemented by the Governor-General Dalhousie who acted as an annex to the Indian independent states. It was essentially a proposal to annex certain States that do not have a heir means state that do not have an heir they get lapsed the right of ruling and it will not reverted by adoption

Dual Government

  • Robert Clive established the parallel government in Bengal in 1765 and remained in Bengal until 1772. The Bengal administration was split by Diwani and Nizamat into two parts under the arrangement.  Diwani means the right to revenue collection had been issued to the company and Nizamat means that Nawab hadbeen granted administrative powers. Profit raised tax rates and strict income collection methods were used.
