16. The numbers of British in India were small, yet they were able to rule
52% of the Indian subcontinent directly and exercise considerable
leverage over the princely states that accounted for 48% of the area.
One of the most important events of the 19th century was the rise of
Indian nationalism, leading Indians to seek first "self-rule" and later
"complete independence".
However, historians are divided over the causes of its rise. Probable
reasons include a "clash of interests of the Indian people with British
interests", "racial discriminations",and "the revelation of India's past".
The first step toward Indian self-rule was the appointment of councillors
to advise the British viceroy in 1861 and the first Indian was appointed
in 1909. Provincial Councils with Indian members were also set up
