Question

why did the British create separate military and non military quarters in their cities in the form of Civil Lines and Cantonment

Answer 1

hey here's your answer
The British implemented a new military strategy that was established on the rapid deployment of artillery and troops, which had sound consequences for the layout and form of cities and towns.

The density of European troops in city strongholds was replaced with the growth of separate military camps or cantonments. This caused a major change in the pattern of European settlement, which separated the ruling European elite classes from the general Indian masses.

This also resulted in the physical separation of the rulers from the ruled. The British formed a wholly separate existence which was separated from the noisy native quarters and chaos of the local everyday life. This made them increasingly distant from the real India of the masses.

Although this encouraged an impartial government that was motivated by the highest ideals, it also nurtured arrogant concepts of racial superiority in contrast to the easy relationship which had characterized the earlier years of British East India Company Rule.
