Question

write a short note on divide and rule policy of the British​

Answer 1

Answer:

Britain worked a 'divide and rule' strategy using differences of race, language, religion, occupation/status and caste to divide people - they exploited the differences between illiterate rural peasant masses and the educated western-orientated Anglo-Indian elite.

It was introduced by the 17th Viceroy of India when he gave provision of separate electorates to create a rift between hindus and muslims thus promoting communal disharmony.
