	British Raj - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aden was part of "British India" from 1839 and Burma from 1886; both became separate crown colonies of the British Empire in 1937.
		The first steps were taken toward self-government in British India in the late 19th century with the appointment of Indian counsellors to advise the British viceroy and the establishment of provincial councils with Indian members; the British subsequently widened participation in legislative councils with the Indian Councils Act of 1892.
