India Act 1784

The India Act of 1784 was a crucial law passed by the British Parliament to establish better control over British territories in India. It created the Board of Control, a government body in Britain responsible for overseeing political and military affairs in India, reducing the direct influence of the East India Company. The Act aimed to bring more central oversight and prevent corruption, marking a shift towards increased British government involvement in Indian administration. This legislation laid the groundwork for future governance reforms by centralizing authority and establishing a more structured oversight mechanism.
