Topic 2.1
The First World War and its Impact on Britsh India

India in 1914: Loyal to the Raj or Ripe for Rebellion?
The Britsh Raj
 The Viceroy, Secretary of State and Council of India
 Viceroy:
 A politcal appointment by the Britsh government that represented the
Crown in India
 Worked from Deli with a staf of 700
 Twice the salary of the Prime Minister
 Secretary of State for India
 Another politcal appointment made by the government
 The Secretary of State worked from London and formulated policy towards
India
 He was answerable to Parliament
 Assisted by the Council of India
 Council of India
 A group of 15 Britsh men who had experience living and working in India
 They were supposed to guide the Secretary of State to create relevant
policy
 However, many were ex-civil servants and army commanders, who had
retred from India many years ago, as such they ofen provided irrelevantly
and out of date informaton
 The Indian Civil Service (ICS)
 The ICS ensured that government policy for India was implemented
 It was hierarchical in structure, with power fltering down from the crown to the
Viceroy and all the way down to local ofcials
 It was very efcient and was the model for other administratons in the empire
 It took only those who passed a rigorous exam and required a Britsh University
educaton
 This meant that it was virtually impossible for Indians to enter the ICS untl 1919
when ICS exams were held in Rangoon and Delhi
 Although there were few Indian ofcials, there were millions of Indians who worked
within the structure of the ICS as secretaries, policemen and lawyers but always
answerable to a Britsh ofcial
 Princely States
 The Britsh Raj and ICS directly controlled 65% of all of India
 The 562 Indian Princes controlled the remaining 35%
 These were not subject to direct Britsh rule but had treaty arrangements with the
Britsh
 These allowed the states to set their own holidays, laws, languages and rulers but
were under the ‘protecton’ of the Raj, so they had to follow the general policy
Indian Society and Religion
 Religion
 In India, there were many diferent religions
 Hindus (70%)
 Formed the clear majority of Indians
 Generally, had louder, more energetc religious practses
 The caste system dictated their lives and social standing:
 The caste system was a system based on purity and polluton
 Dead bodies and excrement were pollutng substances-the closer
people got to them in their work the lower the caste
