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.

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.  aHistory10aQuraishi, Salim Al- Din  2ddc  00102ddc406954_030000000000000_BUR7094409aLPLbLPLcBKd2024-03-06l0o954.03 BURp9833r2024-03-06 11:10:18w2024-03-06yBK  c3727d3727
