Those Company officials who managed to return with wealth led flashy lives and flaunted their riches. They were called “nabobs” – an anglicised version of the Indian word nawab. They were often seen as upstarts and social climbers in British society and were ridiculed or made fun of in plays and cartoons.

The British set up record rooms to preserve all important documents and letters. The record rooms were attached to all administrative institutions. All the administrative offices, the village tahsildar’s office, the collectorate, the commissioner’s office, the provincial secretariats and the law courts had record rooms attached to their offices. The British also set up specialised institutions like archives and museums to preserve important records. In the early nineteenth century, these documents were carefully copied out and beautifully written by calligraphists. By the middle of the nineteenth century and with the spread of printing, several copies of these records were printed as proceedings of each government department

Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a great social and religious reformer. He undertook several social reforms to change the society and worked to uplift the status of women in India. He started the Brahmo Samaj. The Brahmo Samaj believed in the worship of one God. Raja Ram Mohan Roy advocated Western learnings and Sciences.
He was against the caste system. He worked emphatically for improving the condition of women in the Indian society. It was largely due to his efforts that the practise of 'Sati' was made a crime punishable by law. He criticised the 'purdah system', polygamy, discouraged child marriages and advocated the rights of widows to remarry.
It was because of the efforts made by him to eradicate the social evils in the society, that Raja Ram Mohan Roy is known as 'Father of the Indian Renaissance'.

Federalism: This refers to the existence of more than one level of government in the country. In India, we have governments at the state level and at the centre. Panchayati Raj is the third tier of government. While each state in India enjoys autonomy in exercising powers on certain issues, subjects of national concern require that all of these states follow the laws of the central government. Under federalism, the states are not merely agents of the federal government but draw their authority from the Constitution as well. All persons in India are governed by laws and policies made by each of these levels of government.

(i) Linguistic States : After independence, in 1950, the boundaries of several old states were changed in order to create new states. This was done to ensure that the people who spoke the same language, share common culture, ethnicity or geography could live in the same state.
(ii) Language Policy : The Indian Constitution did not give the status of national language to any one of the languages. Though Hindi was identified as the optional language, but the central government has not imposed Hindi on states where people speak a different language. Besides Hindi, there are 22 other languages recognised as Scheduled Languages by the Indian Constitution.
(iii) Centre-State relations : Improving the Centre-State relations is one more way in which federalism has been strengthened in practice. Though Indian Constitution has demarcated the powers of the Union and the state governments but still the Union government can have influence over the state in many ways.
In the past, the Central government has often misused the Constitution to dismiss the state governments that were controlled by rival parties. This undermined the spirit of federalism, and that of democracy.
The judiciary has played a major role in improving the autonomy of the state governments because many a time, it has rescued state governments which were dismissed in an arbitrary manner.
