After the breakup of the Mughal Empire, the government of India came under the control of the British East India Company, which gradually expanded its power and influence throughout the subcontinent. Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British government took direct control, leading to the establishment of the British Raj, which lasted nearly 100 years until India gained independence in 1947. During this period, the British government administered various aspects of Indian governance, economy, and society, significantly impacting India's political landscape.
