In what ways British rules were different form India rules

 

■ British Raj The Indian subcontinent was ruled by the British between 1858 and 1947. The region which was directly under the control of Britain was generally called 'India' in contemporary usage. It included areas over which Britain had direct administration, contemporary, "British India" and the princely states ruled by individual rulers but had the supremacy of the British Crown.

★ The British Raj extended to almost the whole of present-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, with exceptions like Goa and Puducherry. At various times, it also included Aden (1858 to 1937), Lower Burma (1858 to 1937), Upper Burma (1886 to 1937), British Somaliland (1884 to 1898) and Singapore (1858 to 1867). goes. Burma was directly governed under the British crown from 1937 to 1948 until independence from India. The Persian states of the Persian Gulf were also considered a principality of British India until 1946, and the rupee was used as currency.   

★ The indigenous state, or princely state, was said to be a sovereign entity under a subsidiary alliance with the British Raj, and ruled by an indigenous Indian ruler. At the time of India and Pakistan becoming independent from Britain in August 1947, 565 princely states existed. These native states were not part of British India, as they were not directly under British rule. The British maintained their influence on the internal politics of the states by recognizing, or stripping them of the rulers.

★ The independence of India and then the parliamentary system in India, right of one person to one vote and fair court etc. is the result of British rule. The district administration, university and stock exchange institutional arrangements in India are also the core of British rule. The biggest day of British rule is to free India from rule in different princely states. According to Metcalf, two centuries of rule was the priority of British intellectuals and Indian experts to establish peace, unity and good governance in India.  

★ Although the revolt of 1857 shook the British entrepreneurs and they could not stop it. After this mutiny, the British became more alert and tried to increase dialogue with common Indians and disbanded the rebellious army. New platoons of Sikhs and Baluchis were built on the basis of demonstration capability. From that time till the independence of India, this army remained. According to the 1861 census the total population of British in India was found to be 125,945. Of these, only 41,862 were civilians, the remaining 84,083 were European officers and soldiers. In 1880, the Indian Royal Army consisted of 66,000 British soldiers and 130,000 native soldiers.

★ It was also found that the owners and landlords of the princely states did not participate in the rebellion which in Lord Canning's words was called "Dam in the storm". He was also awarded the British Raj and was officially given a separate identity and crown. Land reform works were also done for some big farmers, which were kept the same for 90 years.

★ Finally, the British felt the disenchantment of Indians with social change. Till the rebellion, he had enthusiastically gone through social change like Lord William Bentinck prohibited the practice of sati. He also felt that the traditions and customs of India were too rigid and firm to be easily changed; Further more, British social interventions, mainly related to religious matters, were not undertaken.
