Before 1947 the British Raj in India was .............

  • A.a regulatory administration
  • B.services administration
  • C.finance administration
  • D.welfare administration

Answer: A

The British Raj was a regulatory administration.

Colonial administration in India was concerned above all with maintaining law and order and collecting revenue, the functions needed to keep British rule secure and profitable. Its typical officers, the collector and the district magistrate, regulated and controlled; development and welfare were marginal to its purpose.

It was not a welfare administration: the welfare state and planned development came only after independence. Services administration and finance administration describe particular functions within government, not the character of the Raj as a whole.
