polity British India: All Data

This page is about the data available for this polity; the chronology of its events is available here.

Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown assuming direct control of India in the form of the new British Raj. It controlled directly or indirectly (through Princely States) the territories of modern-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. For a period the British Raj also included Burma, but it was later organized as a separate colony.
