The Name of the Colony is British Indian Empire located in India. Britain came to rule on the Indians in 1858 when India was rebelling against the British East India Company. The rebellion was calles the Sepoy Rebellion. It Benefited Britain by taxing imports and exports going into and out of India, from that they gained a lot of money. They also restricted certain industries so they didn't have competition with the British. India was another piece of land to add to British control. India was slowly growing towards independence in 1946, when a number of mutinies broke out in armed services. Also in early 1946, new elections were called in India in which the Congress won electoral victories in eight of the eleven provinces. Congress and the Muslim League stumbled over the issue of the partition. Many millions of Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu refugees trekked across the newly drawn borders. In Punjab, where the new border lines divided the Sikh regions in half. Massive bloodshed was going on during this.
