The British first assumed control of India by fighting a terrible war The British East India Company only handled company business matters.

India was considered the most important colony of the British Empire and, therefore, the term British India was coined. The territory of India was under total control of the United Kingdom.

British India was a multicultural environment, formed by different races, languages and religions, especially the Indo-Europeans and the Mongolian race. In this period, the territory of India had more than 3 thousand languages and dialects and the religion of Brahmanism (Hinduism) was the most important.

England had a viceroy in Indian territory, who represented the highest authority in the colony and was responsible for accountability to the British Empire in London.
