Answer:
British raj, period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. The raj succeeded management of the subcontinent by the British East India Company, after general distrust and dissatisfaction with company leadership resulted in a widespread mutiny of sepoy troops in 1857, causing the British to reconsider the structure of governance in India. The British government took possession of the company’s assets and imposed direct rule. The raj was intended to increase Indian participation in governance, but the powerlessness of Indians to determine their own future without the consent of the British led to an increasingly adamant national independence movement.
Explanation:
The British East India Company came as traders and became rulers and administrators, had influenced the economic and political systems of the country. During British rule, colonial India followed a policy of non-interference in the social, religious and cultural life of the fellow Indian till 1813 AD. After, 1813, British started the journey of transforming Indian society and cultural environment and this was happened due to the emergence of new ideas and thought via French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, and Intellectual Revolution.
1. French Revolution added the flavour of liberty, equality and fraternity in the society but in the same way, it gave British administrator to tighten the forces of democracy and nationalism.
2. Intellectual Revolution influences the society through attitude, mind, manners and morals. Through this, British wanted to develop colonial modernisation.
3. Industrial Revolution gave the birth of the industrial capitalism that made India a big market. Hence, the British wanted to develop Indian society as modern as to capture the world market as well as Indian.
