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. |
