The governance of India was taken over from the East India Company by the British Crown in 1858, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. This transition was formalized through the Government of India Act 1858, which led to the establishment of direct British rule in India, known as the Raj. The British Crown assumed control to ensure better administration and quell further unrest. Thus, India became a colony governed directly by the British government.
