What Controlled India from 1858 to 1947?

From 1858 to 1947, India was controlled by the British Empire, specifically through the British Raj. This period began after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which led to the dissolution of the East India Company and the establishment of direct British rule. The British government governed India, implementing administrative, economic, and social changes, often prioritizing British interests. This colonial rule faced increasing resistance, culminating in the independence movement that ultimately led to India's independence in 1947.
