Tales from later Mughals

The complete break up between these two
communities occurred after 1857. It ended the last vestige of
the Mughal Empire and India came under the British crown.
The native states had lost all their independence.
To the Indians, 1857 was not only a political but also
a cultural defeat. The colonial rulers promoted English
culture to dominate the Indians intellectually. Culture
became the effective tool to control the educated Indian
class and mould them in favour of colonial policies.
