- 11:1711:17, 30 October 2025 diff hist −40 British Raj →top: restoring longstanding version without "colonial" in the lead sentence and without tags up top based in WP:OR, which attempt to make a rule from exceptions. The OED has copied from us, see the talk page; Wolpert added an article "British Raj" to Britannica after "British Raj" became the common usage in history texts, based very likely in Wikipedia's article.

Sourcing that bit of text is one of the easiest things in Modern Indian History. Will do so soon.Undid revision 1310097792 by Kingarthur581 (talk) Tag: Undo
