Britain invaded India.

The latest Indian territories annexed by Britain are Sindh (1843), Punjab controlled by Sikhs (1849), Belal (1853) and Ode (1856). The famous Indian national uprising broke out in 1857 due to various unfavorable policies of the colonists.

And established the Indian government headed by the Indian governor. The British also officially ended the meaningless Mughal dynasty and exiled Bahadur Shah II to Myanmar. Since then, India has entered the era of direct rule by the British government.

In addition, under the close supervision of Britain, there are about 700 local states ruled by Indian princes, accounting for 40% of India's national area (some provinces also have local states).

The British consciously took advantage of the contradiction between Hindus and Muslims.

After 1885, there were nationalist gatherings in India almost every year, but the British bureaucrats in Victorian era obviously ignored the demands of Indians. Britain ruled India only to avoid famine.

1909, Britain passed the Mali-Minto Reform Act, which stipulated that in the re-election of the legislature, Muslims and Hindus should be elected separately. Since then, sectarian politics has become a system, and India's national movement has split.
