the claim

Britain formally ruled India as a colony from 1858 until independence in 1947.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Britain formally ruled India as a colony from 1858 until independence in 1947?

Unclear. Several sources confirm that the Crown took over rule in India in 1858 and that India gained independence in 1947, but none of the retrieved items explicitly states that Britain formally ruled India as a colony across that whole span.
