Kepimpinan dan wilayah di India British

Wilayah India, Kepimpinan India British terdahulu dan masih terdahulu, 'bandar Kepimpinan', ialah bahagian pentadbiran British di India. Secara kolektif, mereka dipanggil 'India British'. Dalam satu bentuk atau yang lain, mereka wujud antara 1612 dan 1947, secara konvensional dibahagikan kepada tiga tempoh sejarah:

• Pada 1612–1757, Syarikat Hindia Timur membentuk "kilang-kilang" (pos perdagangan) di beberapa tempat, kebanyakannya di pesisir India, dengan persetujuan empayar Moghul atau pemimpin tempatan. Saingannya ialah syarikat perdagangan Portugal, Denmark, Belanda dan Perancis. Pada pertengahan abad ke-18, tiga "kota kepimpinan": Madras, Bombay, dan Calcutta diperluas.
• Pada zaman pemerintahan syarikat di India, 1757–1858, Syarikat tersebut memperoleh kedaulatan di sebahagian besar India, yang kini disebut "Kepimpinan".
• Selepas Pemberontakan India 1857, sisa-sisa kekuatan syarikat tersebut dipindahkan ke Mahkota. Di Kemaharajaan British yang baru (1858–1947), kedaulatan dibahagikqn dalam beberapa daerah yang baru, seperti Dataran Tinggi Burma. Namun, kepimpinannya diturunkan menjadi "Wilayah".^[1]

Catatan

1. Imperial Gazetteer of India vol. IV 1908, halaman 5 Quote: "The history of British India falls ... into three periods. From the beginning of the 17th to the middle of the 18th century, the East India Company is a trading corporation, existing on the sufferance of the native powers, and in rivalry with the merchant companies of Holland and France. During the next century the Company acquires and consolidates its dominion, shares its sovereignty in increasing proportions with the Crown, and gradually loses its mercantile privileges and functions. After the Mutiny of 1857, the remaining powers of the Company are transferred to the Crown ..." (p. 5)
