- 1:52we see the Rise and Consolidation of
- 1:55British Power in India in Modern
- 1:56History. This is a topic mentioned in
- 2:03the syllabus. How did the rise and
- 2:07consolidation of British power in India
- 2:09affect the social and cultural sectors?
- 2:16We have been explaining about the 1850
- 2:1957 Sepoy Mutiny and the Karnataka Wars
- 2:21in the previous class. In this video,
- 2:28we are going to tell you how the
- 2:30British Empire was established in India
- 2:31and how they came to occupy each region
- 2:33. Okay, look, the British rule in India
- 2:47did not come all at once. The East
- 2:54India Company, which first came as a
- 2:56commercial company, gradually expanded
- 2:58its power in India through military,
- 3:00political, diplomatic and economic
- 3:02means. First, we have Captain Hippon
- 3:09arriving in the court of Jahangir when
- 3:11Jahangir was the Mughal king on a ship
- 3:14called Globe; then we have Sir Thomas
- 3:16Roe arriving, and the East India
- 3:17Company was formed on December 31, 1600
- 3:20as a commercial company; then after the
- 3:29other Europeans, the Portuguese and the
- 3:31Dutch sent them, finally we have talked
- 3:33about the wars that took place on
- 3:35Indian territory between the French and
- 3:37the English, the Anglo, Carnatic Wars,
- 3:39and the Carnatic Wars. After that, the
- 3:46main thing is that the British Empire
- 3:49was established in India, that is, the
- 3:51Battle of Plassey took place in Bengal
- 3:53on June 23, 1757. If we look carefully
- 4:04here, the Battle of Plassey takes place
- 4:06between Siraj-ud-Daulah and Robert
- 4:17Clive. Robert Clive, we have already
- 4:22mentioned the Arcot Feud. In this
- 4:25Battle of Plassey, the last independent
- 4:28Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah, the
- 4:30last ruler of Bengal, is defeated.
- 4:34After his defeat, he is exiled. The
- 4:39victory achieved through this battle
- 4:41laid the foundation for the
- 4:42establishment of the British Empire in
- 4:44India, that is, establishing the empire
- 4:46means that they are the ones who
- 4:48appoint and remove the Nawabs, and then
- 4:49occupying each area in a different way.
- 4:55After that, the battle that
- 4:56strengthened the British Empire in
- 4:58India is the Battle of Buxar. This
- 5:01Battle of Buxar was fought between Mir
- 5:03Kasim Shuja Uddavala II. If all of them
- 5:06were an alliance and the British were
- 5:08an alliance, the British would win. The
- 5:10outcome of this battle completely
- 5:14strengthened the British Empire in
- 5:16India. Then in 1765, the Treaty of
- 5:23Allahabad was signed, and for the first
- 5:25time, they got civil rights, which
- 5:27means they got the power to collect
- 5:29taxes from our land. In this way, they
- 5:37occupied each area in a different way.
- 5:42First of all, Bengal was the only one.
- 5:48If we look at it, the British, who came
- 5:50as a trading company, took advantage of
- 5:52the local conditions and established a
- 5:54strong empire. Since we did not have a
- 6:00strong king, they took advantage of
- 6:02that opportunity and established a
- 6:04kingdom. Okay, look, especially trade,
- 6:09military victory, political dominance,
- 6:11territorial conquest, this is how the
- 6:13establishment of their empire happened.
- 6:17The Battle of Plassey is very important
- 6:19for us. In 1757, the British first
- 6:25established an empire in Bengal. The
- 6:32main reason for all this is that
- 6:34Aurangzeb died in all places. In 1707,
- 6:38Aurangzeb was a strong Mughal king. He
- 6:42was not a 21-year-old. After his death,
- 6:45the remaining local areas declared
- 6:47their independence. Murshid Puli Khan,
- 6:55Murshid Khan, established independence
- 6:57in Bengal and established a region
- 6:59called Murshidabad. After that,
- 7:08Alivardi Khan, Alivardi Khan's
- 7:10son-in-law Sirajuddaula, Sirajuddaula,
- 7:12the last independent Nawab of Bengal.
- 7:18Bengal means not only the present-day
- 7:20West Bengal, but also a very large area
- 7:22, West Bengal, West Bengal, Bihar and
- 7:31Orissa. We call all these areas Bengal.
- 7:38Okay, what will Sirajuddaula do?
- 7:43Sirajuddaula will attack the English,
- 7:45that is, when Sirajuddaula is here, we
- 7:47will have the Third Anglo-Carnatic War.
- 7:52The Third Anglo-Carnatic War will take
- 7:55place from 1756 to 63 due to this
- 7:57seven-year period. At that time, the
- 8:03French in Bengal had Chandranagore,
- 8:05Chandranagore, Kashi Bazar, Calcutta,
- 8:07and these areas, and they were building
- 8:09defensive walls to prevent attacks on
- 8:11those areas. When they were building
- 8:19defensive walls in his territory, he
- 8:21got angry and said, "Who is building
- 8:23defensive walls?" Sirajuddaula said in
- 8:26Udham. After Sirajuddaula said in Udham
- 8:28, the French listened to him but the
- 8:30British did not listen. When he did not
- 8:33listen, he got angry with Sirajuddola.
- 8:35The British started a fight. The fight
- 8:37became worse than that. On June 20,
- 8:421756, at that time, 1756, the Calcutta
- 8:46Dark Room Incident. What is the
- 8:58Calcutta Dark Room Incident? The
- 9:02Calcutta Dark Room Incident is a story
- 9:04about a British man named Halwell who
- 9:07says that if he imprisoned all the
- 9:09British, about 146 people, in a small
- 9:11room measuring 18 x 10 x 14, only 23 of
- 9:14them survived. That is, he locked 146
- 9:22British people in a small room, out of
- 9:28which only 23 survived. This is called
- 9:31the Calcutta Dark Room Incident. After
- 9:34that, the treaty of Ali Sagar was
- 9:36signed between Sirajuddola and the
- 9:38English, and Calcutta was named Ali
- 9:40Sagar. All these things happened. In
- 9:46the context of all these conflicts,
- 9:48these disputes and quarrels between
- 9:50Siraj-ud-Daulah and the English, the
- 9:52Battle of Plassey was fought on June 23
- 9:54, 1757. The Battle of Plassey was
- 9:57fought between Robert Clive and
- 9:58Siraj-ud-Daulah. Look, the date is
- 10:05important to us: Where did it take
- 10:07place on June 23, 1757? Plassey in
- 10:11Bengal. Robert Clive, the Nawab of
- 10:16Bengal, represented the British. There
- 10:22were conflicts especially over the
- 10:24Company's abuse of commercial rights,
- 10:26strengthening of forts, political
- 10:27interference of the Company, and
- 10:29differences between Siraj-ud-Daulah and
- 10:31the Company. It would have been better
- 10:35if the Company had looked only at
- 10:36business; what happened to the Company?
- 10:38It became politically involved.
- 10:40Siraj-ud-Daulah was defeated in this
- 10:43war. Siraj-ud-Daulah's general, then
- 10:48his president Mir Jafar, betrayed his
- 10:50trust and as a result, he was defeated.
- 10:56If Mir Jafar's son Miran captures
- 10:58Sirajuddo and hands him over to the
- 11:00British, Sirajuddo will also be exiled.
- 11:04Okay, then Mir Jafar is appointed as
- 11:06the pro-British Nawab. Mir Jafar, Mir
- 11:10Jafar is succeeded by Mir Qasim. See,
- 11:14through the Battle of Plassey, the
- 11:16British became the decisive force in
- 11:18the political affairs of Bengal. That
- 11:22is, to the point of removing a Nawab
- 11:23and appointing a Nawab, to the point of
- 11:25changing the Nawab, from intervention
- 11:27to domination, the battle that laid the
- 11:29foundation for the establishment of the
- 11:31British Empire in India is the Battle
- 11:33of Plassey. Then the Battle of Buxar,
- 11:36which is also important for us. Date:
- 11:38October 22, 1764 This took place in a
- 11:41place called Buxar. British leader
- 11:45Hector Monroe, this alliance is also
- 11:47very important. Look at what will
- 11:50happen, Siraj Uddaula, this Siraj
- 12:04Uddaula will die, after his death, Mir
- 12:07Jafar will come, Mir Jafar will be
- 12:09replaced by Mir Qasim, the removal of
- 12:11Mir Jafar is called the 1760 revolution
- 12:13, Mir Jafar will be removed and Mir
- 12:16Qasim will be replaced. This Mir Qasim
- 12:24is a capable ruler who thinks that the
- 12:26British should not interfere in his
- 12:28rule, he also changes his capital from
- 12:30Murshidabad to Manghir. Who is Mir
- 12:35Qasim, what will he do after that, he
- 12:37will give a statement that none of the
- 12:39Bengal traders need to pay taxes. The
- 12:43English will be angry with that
- 12:45statement, what are the English, only
- 12:47the British should not pay taxes,
- 12:48English traders think, but what will he
- 12:50do, he will say that everyone does not
- 12:52need to pay taxes. As a result, they
- 12:58had their quarrels, he was defeated in
- 13:00small battles, after his defeat, Mir
- 13:02Kasim went to Awadh, in Awadh, he and
- 13:05Shuja ud-Daulah similarly formed an
- 13:07alliance with us, and in 1764, the
- 13:09Battle of Buxar took place. In this
- 13:14battle, the British again won. This is
- 13:17also very important. Who participated?
- 13:26British leader Hector Monroe Mir Kasim
- 13:28from Bengal against the British Mir
- 13:30Kasim Nawab of Awadh Suja ud-Daulah
- 13:33Mughal emperor then If we look at the
- 13:35Mughals, Aurangzeb died in 1707, after
- 13:38Aurangzeb died in 1707, those who ruled
- 13:40from 1707 to 1858 were the Mughals
- 13:42again, then in 1764, the second and
- 13:45third Shaham Mughal emperor, the
- 13:47British won this war. That is, if we
- 13:58look here, the Battle of Buxar and the
- 14:00Battle of Plassey laid the foundation
- 14:02for the British Empire, strengthened it
- 14:04and established their power even
- 14:05stronger. The Battle of Buxar was
- 14:12fought between Robert Clive and the
- 14:18Second Sultanate of Bengal. Through
- 14:23this, the Company got the civil rights
- 14:25of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. They got
- 14:31very important civil rights. They had
- 14:36the power to collect taxes for the
- 14:37first time. The Allahabad Treaty was a
- 14:43political event. The Battle of Buxar
- 14:48laid a strong foundation for political
- 14:50dominance. See also: Dual Government in
- 15:00Bengal After the Battle of Plassey,
- 15:02their dominance increased greatly and
- 15:04they brought dual rule in Bengal in
- 15:06India. It was introduced by Robert
- 15:16Clive and abolished by Warren Hastings.
- 15:20In this dual government, the income
- 15:47came to the company, but the
- 15:48responsibilities came to the Nizam
- 16:04Nawab, the Nawab of Bengal, the Nawab
- 16:23Next, we have talked about the Carnatic
- 16:25Wars in the previous class. These
- 16:28Anglo-Carnatic Wars were fought between
- 16:30the British and the French. Okay, the
- 16:35wars fought between the British and the
- 16:37French for supremacy in India ended
- 16:39with the First Carnatic War at Exla
- 16:40Chapel. The Second Carnatic War ended
- 16:48with the Treaty of Pondicherry. The
- 16:51Third Carnatic War ended with the
- 16:53Treaty of Paris. In this, the Battle of
- 16:56Vandiwash and the Battle of 100 Vasi
- 16:58took place. The French lost their
- 17:01influence after losing this Battle of
- 17:02Vandiwash. The Dutch were defeated in
- 17:05the Battle of Chinsurah Bedura in 1759.
- 17:08The French were defeated in the Battle
- 17:11of Vandiwash in 1760. Look at that. The
- 17:14Treaty of Paris dealt a severe blow to
- 17:20French political dominance in India.
- 17:26Next, if we look at the British
- 17:27struggle with Mysore, after the Mughals
- 17:29, the Wodeyar dynasty ruled Mysore and
- 17:31the Wodeyar in the Karnataka region.
- 17:38There was Krishnaraja Wodeyar in this
- 17:39Wodeyar. He had brothers, and those
- 17:44brothers used to rule. Haider Ali, who
- 17:50was only named, was a common soldier in
- 17:52it, and was the commander of a region
- 17:54called Dundigal, and with his amazing
- 17:56military skills, he occupied and ruled
- 17:58this region. This Haider Ali's son was
- 18:04Tipu Sultan. Who was the first
- 18:07nationalist, Tipu Sultan? Look around,
- 18:12Haider Ali was ruling the Mysore
- 18:14Kingdom. As Haider Ali gradually
- 18:28developed, differences arose between
- 18:29the British on one side, the Marathas
- 18:31on the other side, and the Nizams on
- 18:33the other side. Because Hyder Ali is
- 18:45developing well, he is developing and
- 18:47occupying small areas, so the British,
- 18:49Marathas and Nizam form an alliance
- 18:51against the Hyder Alis. Initially,
- 18:58Hyder Ali wins the first Anglo-Mysore
- 19:00war. In the second war, he wins the
- 19:04first but dies. In the middle, he falls
- 19:07ill. Then, when it comes to the third,
- 19:10Tipu Sultan comes. When it comes to the
- 19:14fourth, Tipu Sultan dies. Okay, look,
- 19:19Mysore is also an important obstacle to
- 19:21the British expansion. Hyder Ali, Tipu
- 19:27Sultan, First, First war, Second war,
- 19:30Third war, Four wars are fought in
- 19:33total, the first two wars are fought by
- 19:36Hyder Ali, then three, four by Tipu
- 19:38Sultan, the first is 1767 to 69, the
- 19:41second is 80 to 84, the third is 90 to
- 19:4492, the fourth is 1799, then Tipu
- 19:47Sultan dies. Okay, look at the Treaty
- 19:51of Madras, the Treaty of Mangalore, and
- 19:54then the Treaty of Srirangapatna. These
- 19:57are the treaties, they all come to us.
- 20:00In the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, the
- 20:03Treaty of Srirangapatna, Srirangapatna,
- 20:06we have 1799. Tipu Sultan dies. With
- 20:10this, British dominance in South India
- 20:12was strengthened. Okay, next, if we
- 20:17look here, Tipu Sultan is a member of
- 20:19the French Jacobin Club. He is a
- 20:26nationalist, releases new coins and
- 20:28calendars, and he also launches rockets
- 20:30. He plants the Tree of Freedom in
- 20:36Srirangapatna. Okay, we have Tipu
- 20:38Sultan next. Wars with the Marathas.
- 20:41There were three major wars between the
- 20:43British and the Marathas. Anglo Maratha
- 20:47War First 75 to 82 Second Anglo Maratha
- 20:50War 1803 to 1805 Third Anglo Maratha
- 20:52War 1817 to 1880 After 1818, the
- 20:55Maratha political dominance was almost
- 20:57over and the British also emerged as
- 21:00the main political power in India.
- 21:07After that, the Subsidiary Alliance See
- 21:09the Military Cooperation System The
- 21:11military cooperation system means that
- 21:13the British provide an army and the
- 21:15king bears the cost of that army, that
- 21:17is, a region Now first we have the
- 21:18Nizam agreeing to the military
- 21:20cooperation agreement. When agreed, the
- 21:27responsibility of protecting the
- 21:29Nizam's territories goes to war with
- 21:31the Erewa, the British army comes to
- 21:32support the people who signed this
- 21:34agreement. That is the military
- 21:37cooperation system. Okay? That is, why
- 21:40do those who do it with the British,
- 21:41that is, the weapons, technology,
- 21:43discipline, skill that the British have
- 21:45, all these are why we give them an
- 21:47Arcot video? If there were only 500
- 21:49people, they had enough technology at
- 21:51that time to defeat even 10,000 people
- 21:53from that side. Therefore, the
- 21:57subsidiary alliance was mainly related
- 21:59to Lord Wellesley, the Indian king
- 22:01should keep the British army in his
- 22:03kingdom. Who should bear the cost of
- 22:08that army, the king should bear it.
- 22:11They should not have independent
- 22:12relations with other foreign powers,
- 22:14they should not make war or treaty
- 22:15without British permission. There was
- 22:18also a British resident in the kingdom.
- 22:21That is, depending on the circumstances
- 22:23at that time, they thought about the
- 22:24neighboring kingdoms. But we were not
- 22:28all united and wanted to drive them out
- 22:30first. That is, think of the Nizams who
- 22:33were next door, the Marathas who were
- 22:35next door, Karnataka who were next door
- 22:37...that is, they looked at this and
- 22:39that. They looked at their geographical
- 22:42area but did not think broadly. That is
- 22:45, if a military cooperation agreement
- 22:47is signed, what is the point here
- 22:49indirectly? We should not even have
- 22:52independent relations with other
- 22:54foreign powers, then we should not
- 22:55fight without British permission, we
- 22:57should not even make agreements, all
- 22:59these are there. What happened to the
- 23:03independence of the Indian princely
- 23:05states? It has gradually decreased.
- 23:08Okay, the next doctrine of succession.
- 23:14Look at how they annexed the area when
- 23:16there were no legitimate heirs.
- 23:23Basically, Lord Dalhousie's theory of
- 23:25succession is the theory of succession
- 23:27of the princely state, in which the
- 23:28British government in some cases did
- 23:30not recognize the adopted heir in the
- 23:32princely states where there was no
- 23:34natural heir. What was the first one
- 23:40taken? Satara. This is important for us
- 23:42. Appa Saheb dies, Appa Saheb has no
- 23:45children, no heirs on his behalf. Then
- 23:47this area is taken over. Then Jhansi
- 23:50and Nagpur are all these. We also think
- 23:53of Avadh, but Avadh is a misgovernment,
- 23:55the reason why the British Empire is a
- 23:57villain. Avadh was a villain in 1856
- 24:04due to the misgovernment, but not under
- 24:07the doctrine of lapse, the doctrine of
- 24:09lapse, Lord Dalhousie, next Punjab, if
- 24:12we look at Punjab, the Punjab region
- 24:14was a tribe, there were 12 tribes in it
- 24:16, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, he all came,
- 24:19the Anglo-Sikh wars took place, see,
- 24:21after the two Anglo-Sikh wars with the
- 24:23Sikhs, Punjab was annexed to the
- 24:25British Empire in 1849. When was Punjab
- 24:28, 1849, next British victory? What were
- 24:39the reasons for political reasons,
- 24:40military reasons, economic reasons,
- 24:42diplomatic reasons? There was no unity
- 24:45among the Indian states. The first
- 24:48point is whether we have unity or not.
- 24:51They were put in the context of the
- 24:52conditions in which we are. There are
- 24:54mutual differences. They have British
- 24:57diplomacy, modern weapons militarily.
- 25:01They have a trained army, efficient
- 25:03military leadership, if we lean the car
- 25:05in the Anglo-Mass wars, they will lead
- 25:07us in the fourth. Then economically,
- 25:11control over Bengal's income, economic
- 25:13strength as a commercial
- 25:14institution-all these are diplomatic
- 25:16reasons. Subsidy reliance, exploitation
- 25:19of differences between institutions-all
- 25:21these are now seen in administration.
- 25:23What changes have come to
- 25:24administration? The Regulating Act was
- 25:26brought (1773). Regulating means
- 25:28control. The Regulating Act was the
- 25:32first significant control that the
- 25:33British Parliament started over the
- 25:35administration of the company in India.
- 25:38What did it do in this? The Governor of
- 25:41Bengal was changed to the Governor
- 25:43General of Bengal. First, Warren
- 25:46Hastings 'Regulating Act, Charter Acts,
- 25:48Council Acts, all these came later. See
- 25:51the Supreme Court was established in
- 25:54Calcutta under the Act of 1753, and the
- 25:56Supreme Court was established in 1773
- 25:58under the Act of 74. The British
- 26:00Parliament's supervision over the
- 26:02administration of the company also
- 26:04increased. Pitt's India Act To examine
- 26:08the shortcomings in the regulating law,
- 26:10the then British Prime Minister Pitt
- 26:11brought the Pitt's India Act named
- 26:13after him. According to it, the Board
- 26:16of Control and the Court of Directors
- 26:18came into being. With the Board of
- 26:20Control, the British government's
- 26:22control over the political affairs of
- 26:23the company's commercial affairs was
- 26:25strengthened. Okay, the next charter
- 26:31acts we have are 1813, 1793, 1813, 33,
- 26:3453, all of them are charter acts. 1793,
- 26:421813, 1833, 1853, all of them are
- 26:48charters, meaning an agreement. After
- 26:50that, the Sepoy Mutiny of 18 took place
- 26:53. On November 1, 58, the Allahabad
- 26:54Proclamation, the Government of India
- 26:56Act. After that, we get the Council
- 26:59Acts. Since the Council is formed, we
- 27:02get the Council Acts. Minto Mala's
- 27:04reforms, the corruption of words, all
- 27:06these come to us in politics. Look, the
- 27:09Chapter Act of 1813 was a big blow to
- 27:12the company's commercial monopoly. The
- 27:18Company's monopoly on trade with India
- 27:20was largely abolished. However, the
- 27:23Company continued to have exclusive
- 27:25rights over the tea and China trade,
- 27:27which meant that the Company's monopoly
- 27:29was abolished. Except for tea and China
- 27:35trade, it paved the way for Christian
- 27:37missions to operate in India. A target
- 27:42was set for education per year. One
- 27:44lakh rupees per year was set for
- 27:46employment. When did the 33 Governor
- 27:48General of Bengal do? After the Charter
- 27:54Act of 1813, the Governor General of
- 27:56Bengal was changed to the Governor
- 27:57General of India. What does India mean?
- 28:05Not only Bengal, but also the rest of
- 28:06the country came under the Governor
- 28:08General of India. The Governor General
- 28:11of India was effectively established.
- 28:13The first Governor of India was Lord
- 28:15William Benting. William Benting
- 28:17completely put an end to the Company's
- 28:19commercial activities. The
- 28:21administration of India became more
- 28:23centralized. Legal reforms also came.
- 28:27After that, in 53, it was extended
- 28:29every 20 years, which led to its
- 28:31closure. There was some separation
- 28:34between legislative and non-legislative
- 28:36duties. An open competitive examination
- 28:38route was established in the civil
- 28:40service. Then came the Government of
- 28:46India Act of 1858, which was the first
- 28:48thing that happened, which ended the
- 28:50Company's rule. The administration of
- 28:54India came under the control of the
- 28:56Crown and we went under the British Raj
- 28:58. The post of Secretary of State for
- 29:03India was created. The Council of India
- 29:08was formed. The Governor General of
- 29:11India was also changed to Viceroy. When
- 29:13explaining what Viceroy is with the
- 29:15native princely states, it is called
- 29:17Viceroy. The first Viceroy was Lord
- 29:20Canning. Evolution of administrative
- 29:23institutions. Regulating Act. First
- 29:26Limitation Control. 84. 1784. Board of
- 29:29Control. 1813. A blow to monopoly.
- 29:321833. Governor General of India. 53.
- 29:35The way for competitive civil surgeons.
- 29:37Crown Rule. 1858. What changes came in
- 29:41the social field? Ban on Sati. Sati's
- 29:44association. 1829. Lord William brings
- 29:48a child. In 1829, the practice of Sati
- 29:52was legally banned. Raja Rammohan Roy
- 29:55also led a strong social culture for
- 29:57the abolition of Sati. Raja Rammohan
- 30:00Roy fought for the abolition of Sati.
- 30:04As a result, in 1829, William Bentong
- 30:07brought the Sati Prohibition Act. Okay
- 30:12Next Widow Remarriage Act 1856 Ishwar
- 30:19Chandra Vidyasagar prominently
- 30:21supported widow remarriage. Ishwar
- 30:34Chandra Vidyasagar passed the Hindu
- 30:36Widows Remarriage Act in 1856. Later,
- 30:38female infanticide was banned, if we
- 30:41look at it, if the fetus in the womb is
- 30:43known to be female, it means killing it
- 30:45, removing it. The British government
- 30:52has been taking legal steps at various
- 30:53times to stop female infanticide. Later
- 30:55, Western education was brought in. Due
- 30:57to that, we have increased knowledge.
- 30:59All these come in minutes. Logical
- 31:01thinking, individual freedom buildings,
- 31:03the concept of equality, casteist ideas
- 31:05, foundational writings, all these are
- 31:07known to us. Macaulay's Minute. This is
- 31:10very important to us, like the Magna
- 31:11Cata of the education system. We have
- 31:14one in English, Wood's Dispatch, see
- 31:17Macaulay's Minute. In 1835, 1835, he
- 31:21supported the policy of giving priority
- 31:24to Western education, especially
- 31:26English education. The expansion of
- 31:30English education, the introduction of
- 31:32Western knowledge, the emergence of a
- 31:34new educated middle class. Then came
- 31:36Wood's Dispatch (the year 1854 is also
- 31:39important). Wood's Dispatch is an
- 31:43important document in the development
- 31:45of the modern education system in India
- 31:47. Wood's Dispatch is English. It is
- 31:53often called the Magna Cata of English
- 31:55Education in India. What did Wood's
- 32:00Dispatch do in this? Establishment of
- 32:03educational departments, encouragement
- 32:05of the establishment of universities,
- 32:07organized education from primary to
- 32:09higher education, and encouragement of
- 32:11women's education. Woods Dispatch also
- 32:13gave importance to women's education.
- 32:15See above. Later, social reform
- 32:18movements took place. Among them were
- 32:20Raja Rammohan Roy (abolition of Sati,
- 32:23Brahma Samaj), Ishwar Chandra
- 32:24Vidyasagar (Vitanta) Premarital
- 32:26Marriage, Swami Dayananda Saraswati (
- 32:29Arya Samaj), Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (
- 32:31modern Muslim education), Jyotirao
- 32:33Phule (caste education, social equality
- 32:35). We will explain each of them clearly
- 32:38in the next video. In their social
- 32:43reform movements, the next printing
- 32:44machine and newspapers came. The
- 32:48printing press, John Gutenberg's
- 32:49printing press, newspapers increased,
- 32:51the spread of ideas accelerated,
- 32:53support for social reform increased,
- 32:55and political consciousness also
- 32:57increased. The concept of ethnicity
- 32:59expanded. The modern press sector has
- 33:04increased socio-political consciousness
- 33:06, especially if we look at the Samvad
- 33:09Kaumudi magazine, whose name is
- 33:10Rajaramohan Roy, Samvad Kaumudi,
- 33:12Mirat-ul-Akbar, this is also
- 33:14Rajaramohan Roy, Kesari, Balgangadhar
- 33:16Tilak's magazine, this is Kesari. The
- 33:21Hindu nationalist movement played an
- 33:23important role in the formation of the
- 33:25Hindu nationalist movement. The Hindu
- 33:27railway system also came into being.
- 33:30Railways increased connectivity. In
- 33:351853, the first animal train in India,
- 33:37Bombay to Thane, was started for the
- 33:39transport of soldiers, for raw
- 33:41materials, for market connectivity, for
- 33:43administrative control, all these were
- 33:45started with the intention of the
- 33:47British, but especially for regional
- 33:49connectivity, for the leaders of
- 33:50nationalist thought to move from one
- 33:52region to another. Connectivity also
- 33:58helped to increase. The telegraph was
- 34:01created. The telegraph also had its
- 34:03uses. Later, courts were formed. Indian
- 34:06Penal Code, IPC, CPC, and CRPC systems
- 34:10came. Overall, if we think positively,
- 34:13modern education came. Western
- 34:16knowledge came to us. Printing culture
- 34:18came. Railways came. The telegraph
- 34:21became a demon for social reform
- 34:22movements. These indirectly contributed
- 34:25to national consciousness. What is
- 34:26negative? All these were set up and our
- 34:30resources were diverted. Economic
- 34:33exploitation took place. Traditional
- 34:36industries declined, high pressure on
- 34:38agriculture, export of raw materials,
- 34:40expansion of the market for British
- 34:42goods, use of infrastructure in line
- 34:44with the interests of colonial rule,
- 34:46and use of social division politically;
- 34:48all these are also negative shades. If
- 34:54we look later, the laws we mentioned
- 34:55are important from the exam point of
- 34:57view. Now, look at the MCQ from the
- 35:01topics we mentioned. Battle of Plassey
- 35:04(June 23, 1757): Between Robert Clive
- 35:07and Sirajuddo. Robert Clive's victory,
- 35:11Sirajuddin's death. Plassey laid the
- 35:13foundation for the establishment of the
- 35:15British Empire in India. Battle of
- 35:18Buxar (1764): Mir Kasim, Sujauddin,
- 35:23Second Shah were all in an alliance;
- 35:26British, Hector Munro. He would win,
- 35:29British. Who were the British against
- 35:33in the next Battle of Buxar? None. You
- 35:36have Kasim, Sujad, Shah, Sirajuddin (
- 35:39then he died). When did the Bengal
- 35:42Diwani rights come to the Company?
- 35:44Diwani rights came after the Treaty of
- 35:47Allahabad in 1765. Who introduced the
- 35:49dual government in 1765? Dual
- 35:52government was introduced by Robert
- 35:54Clive. It was abolished by Warren
- 35:57Hastings. Subsidiary Alliance
- 36:05Subsidiary Alliance is the name of Lord
- 36:08Welly Docton of Laps Laps is the reason
- 36:10why Dalhousie made Avadh a will in 1856
- 36:12Avadh Avadh is a misgovernment due to
- 36:14which war is the defeat of Next Tipu
- 36:17Sultan related to 1799 i.e. the Fourth
- 36:19Anglo Mysore War Next What happened
- 36:21after the end of the Third Anglo
- 36:23Maratha War What happened i.e. British
- 36:25rule expanded after the Maratha Wars
- 36:27Regulating Act 1773 Pitts India Act If
- 36:38we look at this Pitts India Act 1784
- 36:40Board of Control was formed. What is
- 36:45the main result of the Charter Act 1833
- 36:47i.e. the post of Governor General of
- 36:48India was brought in. Okay Next India
- 36:57who is William Benting The main result
- 36:59of the Government of India Act 1858
- 37:01According to the 1858 Act, the
- 37:03Company's rule ended and the Crown
- 37:05administration began, the British did
- 37:07not come to power. India's first
- 37:12Viceroy Lord Canning Lord Canning Who
- 37:14banned the practice of Sati in 1829?
- 37:20William Benting Widows Remarriage Act
- 37:23Esu Chanda Vidyasagar Lord Dalhousie OK
- 37:251856 Remember the Macaulay Minute.
- 37:31Macaulay Minute came in 1835, Wood's
- 37:34Dispatch 1854 1835 Macaulay Minute,
- 37:37Wood's Dispatch 1854 Those two are
- 37:40important to us. On which route did the
- 37:44first passenger train run in India?
- 37:46Bombay Baita Taane (1853). If we look
- 37:49at the correct pair, Wellesley: Dock of
- 37:52Laps. No Dock of Laps not Dalhousie
- 37:55Subsidies not William Benting Sati
- 37:57Avyashan Sati cohabitation ban happened
- 37:59during William Benting's time. Next,
- 38:02what is Wood's Dispatch commonly called
- 38:04? Magna Cata of Indian Education System
- 38:07. Woods Dispatch is like Magna Cat in
- 38:10Indian education system. Why were
- 38:12railways and telegraphs developed
- 38:14mainly during British rule? Why were
- 38:16they developed? They were not for
- 38:18tourism, but for military and
- 38:19administrative control. S, Answer B. 24
- 38:23B: Which of the following is correct?
- 38:28Battle of Buxar. Look, what did these

- 38:381857), First Plassey, then Buxar in
- 38:411764, Diwani rights (Treaty of
- 38:44Allahabad 1765) and then Crown Rule.
- 38:52Crown Rule is 1858. We have to look at
- 38:57this from this perspective. Before
- 38:59Buxar it was not. Plassey (C) Parasi,
- 39:0257 Adar Buxar (64), Diwani (65). S,
- 39:06This is correct. B for 25th. Okay, we
