In this episode, we’ll explore the establishment of the British Raj following the Indian Mutiny, examining how direct rule by the British government replaced the East India Company. We’ll discuss the Government of India Act of 1858, which granted authority to Queen Victoria and introduced administrative and infrastructural developments, such as railways. However, British rule also focused on maintaining control through military dominance, with officer positions reserved for the British and Indian troops strategically deployed. Join us as we delve into the historical perspectives on British rule, from claims of benevolence to ongoing ethical debates.
