If you have looked at the first case study in this gallery, you will have seen sources that
give a British view of life in the British empire. In this case study you will examine a range
of sources that look at life in India under British rule. Study each of the sources carefully
and look for ways in which they support or contradict the views given in the first case
study.
Create your own Online Exhibition about ‘Living in the British empire’, using the sources and worksheet provided.
