Detailed explanation-1: -The British Raj was the period of British rule on the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. The system of governance was instituted in 1858 when the rule of the East India Company was transferred to the Crown in the person of Queen Victoria.
Detailed explanation-2: -On the 15th August 1947, India ceased to exist as a British colony. In its place were created two separate sovereign states, India and Pakistan. Now, 70 years on, we look at the reasons for the sudden withdrawal of British troops from the sub-continent, and the seismic ripples it left in its wake.
Detailed explanation-3: -Robert Clive is regarded as the founder of British rule in India. Starting his career as a clerk in the East India Company, he would rise through the ranks to command British forces at the battle of Plassey. The battle would lay the foundations of British rule in India as Bengal would be annexed by them.
