Question

A)Direct
B)Indirect


(B) India, under the tak, was considered a protectorate

True or false

Answer 1

• Indirect Control.
• True.

Step-by-step explanation:

• India's princely states, where from the mid-eighteenth century the British first employed and developed this system of indirect rule, stood as the conscious model for later imperial administrators and politicians who wished to extend the Empire without the economic and political costs of direct annexation.

• The British Raj literally, "rule" (in Sanskrit and Hindustani) was the rule by the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent from 1858 to 1947. The rule is also called Crown rule in India, or direct rule in India. The region under British control was commonly called India in contemporaneous usage, and included areas directly administered by the United Kingdom, which were collectively called British India, and areas ruled by indigenous rulers, but under British tutelage or paramountcy, called the princely states.

• A protectorate, is a state that is controlled and protected by another sovereign state, in this case the British.
