The flag nor the emblem are represented in the info box. I believe it'd be helpful and informative if they're added. Lucky1201 (talk) 05:40, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly support this, and I see no reason to not. Shubhsamant09 (talk) 23:36, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There was no flag nor emblem for the Raj (=British India + Princely States). Please read the numerous talk page archives in which the same question has been asked many times before. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 01:30, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with F&F. Why are so many editors obsessed with such trivia??? Johnbod (talk) 03:30, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, the editors are being very picky tho. ~2026-53902-3 (talk) 14:37, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

British Raj and their systematic loot, exploitation, torture and treachery lead to many famines, epidemics that today's world can't even imagine. Other that highlighting colonial leaders injustice and specifically Churchill's deathly attitude to the Indians should be highlighted. This article highlighted their medical college building nature. ~2026-68949-9 (talk) 08:53, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

British Raj took powers from the hands of Company rule by the Government of India Act 1858, by which powers was transferred from company executive to the direct British crown and not from Mughal Empire. So in my opinion, British India or British Raj only preceded from Company rule alone. So only Company rule must be present. Curious man123 (talk) 03:29, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
