(5x5=25 marks) U U U U (5) U (30) (5) (5x5=25 ) As the empire grew in size and its resources needed to be controlled, so did the need for an efficient and authoritative administrative system increase. Initially there was respect for Indian tradition and no attempts were made to impose European ideals. But soon this mid-eighteenth century construction of a rational Asia began to wane, as the conquerors felt the need to assert sovereignty and exert control to ensure a steady flow of revenue. The idea of cultural particularism gradually began to lose ground in the face of Evangelical attacks and the utilitarian zeal for reform. The idea of improvement led to the introduction of British principles of Justice and uniformity under a civil authority exercised by British personnel. Good laws and sound administration, it was hoped, would lead to the freeing of individual initiative from despotism, irrational customs and traditions. This would give free and full scope for capital and labour and place due emphasis on individual rights and ownership. The utilitarians advocated the Rule of Law for India, while a uniform system of administration, throughout the conquered territories also suited British interests. Till 1813 the Company acted more like a traditional Indian ruler, avoiding innovation or intervention, but keeping nonethless a vigilant eye on extracting agricultural surplus. But this scenario gradually changed under the ideological pressure of the intellectual movements mentioned above and also because the Industrial Revolution in Britain necessiated an integration of the markets throughout India and her development as a source for agricultural raw materials. All this required and unequivocal assertion of sovereignty, much greater penetration into Indian economy and society and control over Indian trade not only with Britain but with other countries as well.
