The Rule of India is a term used to refer to the period of British rule in India from 1858 to 1947. The term is derived from the RAJ, which was the name given to the British rule in India during this period. The RAJ was established by the East India Company and was later taken over by the British government. During this period, the British government had complete control over India's political, economic, and social affairs. The RAJ was ended in 1947 when India gained independence from Britain.
