		India's current population growth rate of 1.7% exceeds both China (0.9%) and the United States (0.6%), who are respectively first and third in total population (Population Reference Bureau, 2001).
		India's annual population increase is greater than the current populations of 147 of the world's nations.
		India's culture is bound to both its religions and languages, with religion having the stronger influence of the two.

	British Empire - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The overseas British Empire — in the sense of British oceanic exploration and settlement outside of Europe and the British Isles — was rooted in the pioneering maritime policies of King Henry VII, who reigned 1485–1509.
		Formal empire in India, beginning with the Government of India Act of 1858, was a means of consolidation, reacting to the abortive Indian Mutiny, which was in itself a conservative reaction among Indian traditionalists to British policy in the subcontinent.
		British withdrawal from the southern and eastern parts of Africa was complicated by the region's white settler populations: Kenya had already provided an example in the Mau Mau Uprising of violent conflict exacerbated by white landownership and reluctance to concede majority rule.

	Manas: History and Politics, British India
		British rule was justified, in part, by the claims that the Indians required to be civilized, and that British rule would introduce in place of Oriental despotism and anarchy a reliable system of justice, the rule of law, and the notion of 'fair play'.
		This was by far the greatest threat posed to the British since the beginnings of their acquisition of an empire in India in 1757, and within the space of a few weeks in May large swathes of territory in the Gangetic plains had fallen to the rebels.
		The East India Company was abolished, though John Stuart Mill, the Commissioner of Correspondence at India House, London, and the unacknowledged formulator of British policy with respect to the native states, furnished an elaborate but ultimately unsuccessful plea on behalf of the Company.

	The Literature of British India
		At the height of its glory, the British Empire encompassed nearly a quarter of the earth's land mass and a quarter of its population.
		India was different in kind from the rest of the Empire — British for so long that it had become part of the national consciousness, so immense that it really formed, with Britain itself, the second focus of a dual power.
		India was the brightest gem, the Raj, part of the order of things: to a people of the drizzly north, the possession of such a country was like some marvel in the house, a caged phoenix perhaps, or the portrait of some fabulously endowed if distant relative.

	India
		India’s secularity is framed in terms of neither favouring nor officially adopting any particular religion, and Article 26 guarantees the freedom to manage religious affairs (subject to constraints imposed by the requirements of public order, morality and health) for every recognised religious denomination or sect.
		India became a signatory to the CEDAW in 1980 and ratified it in 1993.
		India acceded to the CRC in 1992, with a declaration regarding the progressive implementation of Article 32 thereof on child labour, particularly with reference to paragraph 2(a) on the provision of a minimum employment age.

	The Gems of Pre-British India
		Before the British came, India was a rich country and the fame of its wealth attracted both travelers and invaders.
		The British claimed that they came to 'civilise' India, but the reality was that they came to plunder its fabulous wealth and resources.
		The stories of the richness of India in the past had reached far and wide and were so alluring that as soon as explorer expeditions were undertaken in the medieval times, their main aim was to discover a route to India.

	East India Company Medals
		Established: 1837, by the Governor-General in Council as the "Order of Merit." In 1859, when the East India Company was abolished by Parliament, the Order of Merit was taken over by India's new ruler, the British Crown.
		The civil division was established in 1902 and, also, in 1902 the name was changed to the "Indian Order of Merit" (to avoid probable confusion with the newly instituted Order of Merit, 00000, above.) In 1912, when the Victoria Cross became available to soldiers of the Indian Army, the I.O.M. was reduced to two classes.
		In 1859, this decoration was absorbed and continued by the British Crown when it assumed rule of India.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		India is a mixed economy, where both the public and private sectors are accorded a place of importance.
		Initially the British civil service was a part of a police state, where its major task was that of carrying out law and order functions.
		In 1935 the British government decided to establish interim rule in the various provinces of India, which resulted in an exodus of the British subjects as civil servants and, as a result, the number of Indian subjects in the Indian civil service increased tremendously.

		The British split Bengal and joined part of it to sparsely populated Assam, in order to form a Muslim-majority state as the western flank of the buffer state.
		Under this British set-up, enormous animosity was fostered between the Bengalis and the Assamese, as the "tribals" now had reason to harden their stance against the "plains people." In the 1911 census, the Muslim population of the Assam Valley was only 355,320.
