The British Raj (Reign in Hindustani) was the British rule over the Indian sub continent from 1858 when it took control from the East India Company following the Mutiny 0f 1857. In addition there were Native or Princely states that came under the sovereignty of the British who were responsible for foreign and military affairs but were self governed. It lasted until Independence was granted in 1947 to the newly formed countries (or dominions as they were called at the time) of Pakistan (West and East) and India. East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971. The partition along religious lines which were not always clear also split the two largest provinces and has led to continuing trouble between the states. During the period the term British India was also used although this can refer to the period before 1858 while under Company control. There were a number of areas not commonly associated with India included in this term at various stages:- Burma (Myanmar), Somalia, Aden (Yemen), Trucial States (UAE).
