The British Empire was the main colonial power in India. Denmark did hold some rights to the land but they were sold to the British on October 16, 1868 (ex: Nicobar Islands). The British were informally the colonial power as of 1848 with the appointment of Lord Dalhousie as the Governor General over East India Company domain. However, they are viewed as formally taking control after the 1857 Indian Rebellion was repressed in 1858. They were the colonial power in India until independance was declared on August 15, 1947. The Indian Republic was officially created on January 26, 1950.
