the British East India Company
The British government took control of India from the British East India Company primarily due to the widespread unrest following the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, which highlighted the Company's inability to maintain order and govern effectively. The rebellion exposed deep-seated grievances among Indian soldiers and the population, prompting fears of further unrest. In response, the British Parliament enacted the Government of India Act in 1858, dissolving the Company and transferring power directly to the Crown, thus establishing direct British rule in India. This marked the beginning of the British Raj, aimed at stabilizing governance and addressing the issues that had arisen under Company rule.

East India Company
Great Britain controlled India indirectly by using the British East India Company. After the Sepoy mutiny, Britain decided to control India directly. The Sepoy Mutiny ended the indirect control by the East India Company and instead Britain controlled them directly.
Up until the Indian Mutiny of 1856, India was controlled and administered by the East India Company, which proved incompetent in running the nation and completely insensitive and indifferent to the feelings of the natives. Following the Mutiny, Indian Government passed directly to the British Government, who appointed a Viceroy as Head of a Colonial Administration and made Queen Victoria Empress of India.
