  1. India and Pakistan were part of the Islamic Mughal Empire. Maratha Empire replaced the Mughal Empire. The Maratha Empire was founded in 1674 by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the Bhosle dynasty. Shivaji Maharaj led resistance efforts to free the Hindus from the Mughals and the Muslim Sultanate of Bijapur and established the rule of the Hindus. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started with the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent; it is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India, and lasted from 1858 to 1947.
