"The British Raj" is the eleventh song in Hinduism Today's History of Hindu India Music Video series. It is a song for children intended to complement the fourth of our popular History of Hindu India documentaries, "Hindu India: 1850 to 1947." The documentaries and songs neatly supplement the study of India and the Hindu religion in American middle schools. This video covers in brief the British military dominance of India from the mid-nineteenth century and establishment of the British Raj.

The History of Hindu India (Part Four) was developed by the editors of Hinduism Today magazine in collaboration with Dr. Shiva Bajpai, Professor Emeritus of History, California State University Northridge. It is intended to provide an authentic presentation of the history of India and Hinduism for use in American middle and high school classes, as well as Hindu temple study groups and general presentations on the Hindu religion and history.
This documentary is based on the fourth chapter of the textbook, "The History of Hindu India," published in 2011. It covers Indian history from 1850 to 1947, from when the British Crown took over direct control of India from the East India Company to Independence. Under British rule, economic exploitation of the subcontinent increased, resulting in frequent famine and deprivation across the once wealthy land. A determined and mostly nonviolent freedom movement emerged and finally succeeded, resulting in the formation of modern India and Muslim Pakistan in 1947.
