The British Empire: Echoes of Britannia's Rule: 6: Raj

BBC One
on BBC One London

After the Indian Mutiny the Raj was born, and in 1877 Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress. Canals brought life to deserts; railways helped to unify the country. The memsahib arrived, and so did Civil Servants, often to become judge, doctor, and administrator all in one. Bureaucracy flourished, and at the very top reigned the Viceroy.
