Answer:
As India and Pakistan celebrate their independence, Culture Trip looks at the events that led to the partition after the British Raj and the creation of two independent nations.
British rule in India can be traced back to the 17th century, when Mughal Emperor Jahangir gave the British East India Company permission to trade in India in 1617. Although the company faced initial resistance, it slowly began to consolidate its economic and political power in the country. What helped strengthen the company’s position was the fact that India was divided into numerous sub-kingdoms that ruled different parts of the subcontinent, including the powerful Mughals and Marathas. This meant that the company was able to take advantage of local fractures and tensions and employ a ‘divide and rule’ approach that saw it take control of most of India by 1850.
In 1857, Indian soldiers employed by the company revolted en masse. What became known as the Indian Mutiny of 1857 (or ‘the First War of Independence’ in India) took the British several months to quell. The crackdown that followed led to British control of India being handed over directly to the British Crown. The British monarchy, under Queen Victoria, took control of the British India Company’s land and gained influence over India’s princely states.
