India became a British colony in the mid-19th century, following the formal establishment of British rule after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. The British East India Company, which had been exerting control since the 18th century, was dissolved, and the British Crown took direct control, marking the beginning of the British Raj. This colonial rule lasted until India gained independence in 1947.
