Imperialism Great Britain in India

British In India The Mughal Empire was in decline and collapsing by 1707 The empire had divided into states ruled by a maharajah The East Indian Company troops allied with French troops, took advantage of the weakened state, and defeated the Indian army in the Battle of Plassey in 1757 Britain’s economic interest in India began in the 1600s when the British East Indian Company set up trading posts in Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta The East Indian Company expanded its control over India with its own army of sepoys or Indian soldiers The British restricted the Indian economy from operating on its own anything that would compete with products; cotton cloth was one example Britain established a railroad network within India, making it easier to get raw materials to ports

Problems in the “Crown Jewel” of the Colonies By 1850 Britain controlled most of the Indian subcontinent Britain controlled the land and actively tried to convert Hindus and Muslims to Christianity Indians were subjected to a constant barrage of racism from the British In 1857 gossip among the sepoys spread that the British Enfield rifle cartridges were greased with beef and pig fat To use the cartridges soldiers had to bite off the ends; Hindus who considered the cow scared were offended; Muslins who do not eat pork were outraged by the news Sepoys refused to accept or handle the cartridges Sepoys who resisted the British command were jailed and the next day , May 10, 1857 the Sepoy Rebellion or Sepoy Mutiny began The fighting lasted more than a year

Problems in the “Crown Jewel” of the Colonies Splits in loyalties weakened Indian resistance Sikhs emerged as the mainstay of the British army in India As a result of the Sepoy Mutiny, the British took direct control of India in 1858 A British governor-general was dispatched to India and carried out government orders “The Raj” is the term for British control of India after 1858 British control of India lasted until August 15, 1947

Britain’s Interest in India Started as a rich trading post for the British East Indian Trading Company Gradually India became of great economic importance to Britain in supplying raw materials to Britain, such as cotton and jute Britain benefited from the planting of cash crops such as tea, indigo, coffee, cotton, jute and opium, which was traded to China for tea

Impact of Colonialism on India Britain controlled all of the economic and political power in India Britain restricted commerce and forced the growing of cash crops at the expense of starving the local population The presence of missionaries and British racist attitudes threatened traditional Indian life Britain built the third largest railroad in the world in India, which helped develop a modern economy Installed roads, bridges, dams, irrigation projects, and telephone and telegraph lines Improved health, sanitation and built hospitals Founded schools, colleges, and literacy increased Introduced India officials to a democratic form of government
