Which policy did british authorities use to control the indian people after colonizing their territory? a. creating a new social elite that excluded indian peopleb) deporting millions of indians to prison colonies in the south pacific c. refusing to hire indian workers in british factories d. forcing all muslims and hindus to convert to christianity

The correct answer is A) Creating a new social elite that excluded Indian People.

To establish the empire in India the British adopted the strategy of delegating the rule to local rulers, with privileges and wealth. They embraced the landowning elites and gave power to them to collect taxes and enforce the law. This way the Indian elites accepted British power because they gave more power to them and excluded the rest of the Indian people.
