British Raj• “Raj” means ‘Rule’ in Hindi, and refers to the colonial regime in India• 1858: Following the Indian Mutiny, the East India Company territory is taken over
by the British government. The new territory was known as ‘British India’.• The Raj included British India, as well as about 600 neighbouring states, which
continued to exercise a sovreignity as ‘Princely States’. • Princely States generally maintained local Indian rulers, but were highly
influenced by the economy of British India, and its politics. • Each Princely State formed treaties with British India, deciding terms of policy
and power. Some of the smaller states had almost no autonomous power.• In 1876, the Raj is declared an Empire, and Queen Victoria is named ‘Empress of
India’.

‘The White Man’s Burden’, poem by Rudyard Kipling (1899)Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need;To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild— Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the White Man's burden, In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride;By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden, The savage wars of peace— Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease;And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden, No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper, The tale of common things.The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go mark[14] them with your living, And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:— "Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden, Ye dare not stoop to less— Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloke your weariness;By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you.
Take up the White Man's burden, Have done with childish days— The lightly proferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise.Comes now, to search your manhood, through all the thankless years Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!

promoting British social and political structures.• This investment in education led to a generation of Indians highly skilled in British law,
administration etc. A new Indian middle class soon grew, mostly based around the extensive civil service.
• The Regime built one of the world’s largest train networks, connecting the various states of the Raj.
