[edit] Crown colony?

Had India ever been a crown colony of the United Kingdom? As far as I know there was a separate India Office. The British Administration in India did not report to the Colonial Office. — Instantnood 21:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help please

I am very interested in colonial India. I am also doing a historical atlas of India. I would be very happy if I could get a lot of information on this topic. I have also contributed a map of India in 1761. User:thelivinglegend —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 12:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Merger from European colonies in India

I guess European colonies in India can be merged into this article because all colonies in India were European. Please enlist your support/opposition below.--Victor D PARLE 20:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Colonisation of India

Why do we consider the begining of colonisation of India from the arrival of the Europeans.

Shouldn't we include the Islamic sultanates (persian / turkish / afghans) invasions also as colonisation ? After all the moghuls also colonised india, spread their religion, controlled every aspect of the Indian lives (economy, politics etc). How different is that from the British ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vidsin (talk • contribs) 07:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
