<br/><br/> The British Raj (1858–1947) was the period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British Crown took control from the East India Company, establishing the Raj with a viceroy governing in the name of the British monarch.<br/><br/>Under British rule, India saw major changes: new railways, telegraphs, and education systems were introduced, but the economy was reshaped to serve British interests. Many Indians suffered from poverty, famines, and heavy taxation, while British officials and companies grew wealthy.
