  The British Raj
Indeed, British Rule in India, known immortally as the British Raj, was a result of the Victorian eraís infusion of British liberal philosophy in colonial policy and social governance with that of the diverse, regional, religious and princely regimes that defined the Indian mosaic.
The British Raj in India therefore, rested on the ability of its servants to extract the small surpluses made by peasant farmers, who at best lived a hand-to-mouth existence.
Moreover, despite the magnificent pomp of the Raj at its most ceremonial, there were, so it was asserted, a host of Britons modestly doing their duty, quietly, efficiently, patriotically and judiciously.

 Raj Kapoor
Raj Kapoor set up RK Studio in the suburb of Chembur, and even while the studio was semi-complete, he shot the famous dream sequence of Awara there.
Raj Kapoor’s films presented almost the same pro-poor, pro-working class “propaganda” — but in such imaginative and splendid settings that the Russians were mesmerized.
What is different, however, is Raj Kapoor’s symbolic journey that traces the heroine’s evolution from simple village lass to unwed mother as she travels down the Ganges -- from Gangotri in the Himalayas to the evil cities on the plains.

Speaking to rediff.com on Sunday, Leela Raj recalled that when she heard the news about her daughter's achievement, she did not realize its significance immediately.
She said it was at 9.30 am on Friday, when her husband, S Dorai Raj, got a call from former India women's team captain Diana Eduljee in London saying Mithali had scored a century, but the news did not really enthuse her.
For Dorai Raj and Leela Raj, Mithali's record-breaking performance in women's Test cricket is reward for a decade-long of hard work put in by their daughter and them.

 Manas: History and Politics, British India, review article by Vinay Lal
Indeed, the largest exhibition ever staged at this gallery, "The Raj: India and the British 1600-1947", was accompanied by an equally large and rather unwieldy catalogue bearing the same title.
Although The Raj incorporates the contributions of numerous scholars, and in particular arresting essays by Rajnarayan Chandvarkar, John Falconer, and Christopher Pinney, it is largely the work of Bayly, and of a piece with those works which carry the imprint of his name.
The Raj is like the architectural photography in the 1860s of David Lyon, of whom Bayly says that "he stationed Indian employees out of sight but holding reflectors, in order to light the long corridors found in some southern Indian temples" (p.

 British Raj - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Raj (Raj in Hindi/Urdu meaning Rule) refers to the British rule between 1858 and 1947 of the Indian Subcontinent, or present-day India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar, during the period whereby these lands were under the colonial control of the United Kingdom as part of the British Empire.
Although Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) is peripheral to the Indian subcontinent, it is not counted part of the Raj, as it was ruled as a Crown Colony from London rather than by the Viceroy of India as a part of the Indian Empire.
These revolts, faced by the weakened post-war Raj, coupled with the fact that the faith in the British Indian Armed forces had been lost, ultimately shaped the decision to end the Raj.
