After the revolt was crushed, the British partitioned the region into British India and the
Princely States. They tried to develop a class of educated elites, whose political
organizing sought Indian political rights and representation. However, increasing public
disenchantment with the British authority — their curtailing of Indian civil liberties (such
as the Rowlatt Act), political rights, and culture as well as their avoidance of basic issues
facing common Indians and an essential nonacceptance of foreign occupation — led to an
upsurge in Revolutionary movement for Indian independence aimed at overthrowing the
European colonial powers, particularly the British.
