Британска Индија

Британска Индија је била део Британске империје. Појам је дефинисан у Акту британског парламента из 1889. године у коме се каже да се под термином Британска Индија подразумевају све територије под влашћу британског краљевског височанства преко генералног гувернера за Индију или неког другог службеника који је подређен генералном гувернеру Индије.

Британски раж (од , дословно, „управа“ на санскрту и хиндустанском језику)^[1] била је владавина Британске круне на Индијском потконтиненту^[2] од 1858. до 1947.^[3] Ова управа се такође назива владавина круне у Индији,^[4] или директна владавина у Индији.^[5] Регија под британском контролом често се називала Индија у савременој употреби, и обухватала је подручја под директном управом Уједињеног Краљевства, која су се заједнички звала Британска Индија, и подручја којима су владали домородачки владари, али под британским туторством или надредством, звана кнежевске државе. Регион се понекад називао Индијским царством, мада не и званично.^[6]

Овај систем управљања успостављен је 28. јуна 1858. године, када је, након Индијске побуне 1857. године, владавина Источноиндијске компаније пренета на круну у лику краљице Викторије^[7] (која је 1876. године проглашена за царицу Индије). То је трајало до 1947. године, када је Британски Рај подељен на две суверене државе: Унију Индије (касније Република Индија) и Пакистан (касније Исламска Република Пакистан). Касније је Народна Република Бангладеш стекла независност од Пакистана. На почетку Ража 1858. Доња Бурма је већ била део Британске Индије; Горња Бурма је додата 1886, а резултирајућа унија, Бурма, управљана је као аутономна покрајина до 1937, када је постала засебна британска колонија, која је стекла сопствену независност 1948. Преименована је у Мјанмар 1989. Провинција главног комесара Аден је такође била део Британске Индије на почетку британског Ража, а постала је засебна колонија позната као колонија Аден 1937. године.

Као Индија, она је била један од оснивача Лиге народа и један од оснивача Уједињених нација у Сан Франциску 1945. године.^[8] Индија је била држава учесница Летњих олимпијских игара 1900, 1920, 1928, 1932, и 1936.

Британска власт се простирала на скоро читаву данашњу Индију, Пакистан, Бангладеш и Мјанмар, осим малих поседа других европских нација као што су Гоа и Пондичери.^[9] Ова област је веома разнолика, обухвата Хималајске планине, плодне поплавне равнице, Индо-Гангску равницу, дугу обалу, тропске суве шуме, сушне планине и пустињу Тар.^[10] Поред тога, у различитим временима, обухватала је Аден (од 1858. до 1937. године),^[11] Доњу Бурму (од 1858. до 1937. године), Горњу Бурму (од 1886. до 1937. године), Британски Сомалиленд (накратко од 1884. до 1898. године) и Стрејтс насеобине (кратко од 1858. до 1867. године). Бурма је била одвојена од Индије и њоме је директно управљала Британска круна од 1937. до њене независности 1948. Мировне државе Персијског залива и друге државе под Резиденцијом Персијског залива биле су теоретски кнежевске државе, као и председништва и провинције Британске Индије до 1947. и користили су рупију као своју јединичну валуту.^[12]

Између осталих земаља у региону, Цејлон, који се у то време односио на приобалне регионе и северни део острва (данас Шри Ланка) је 1802. године уступљен Британији према Уговору из Амијена. Ови приобални региони су били привремено под администрацијом Мадраса између 1793. и 1798. године,^[13] али у каснијим периодима британски гувернери су извештавали Лондон, а он није био део Ража. Краљевине Непал и Бутан, након што су ратовале са Британцима, касније су потписале уговоре са њима и Британци су их признали као независне државе.^[14]^[15] Краљевина Сиким је успостављена као кнежевска држава након англо-сикимског уговора из 1861. године; међутим, питање суверенитета је остало недефинисано.^[16] Малдивска острва су била британски протекторат од 1887. до 1965. године, али нису била део Британске Индије.^[17]

Британски Раж и околне земље приказане су 1909. године.

Amongst these ... was the East India Company, a British trading company established by Royal Charter of Elizabeth I of England in 1600. The Company gradually expanded its influence in South Asia, in the first instance through coastal trading posts at Surat, Madras and Calcutta. (The British) expanded their influence, winning political control of Bengal and Bihar after the Battle of Plassey in 1757. From here, the Company expanded its influence dramatically across the subcontinent. By 1857, it had direct control over much of the region. The great rebellion of that year, however, demonstrated the limitations of this commercial company's ability to administer these vast territories, and in 1858 the Company was effectively nationalized, with the British Crown assuming administrative control. Hence began the period known as the British Raj, which ended in 1947 with the partition of the subcontinent into the independent nation-states of India and Pakistan.”
