1822 in India

In 1822, India was a significant region of British colonial expansion, characterized by socio-political changes and cultural developments. The Maratha Empire's decline had resulted in the consolidation of British power, with various princely states coming under British suzerainty. Notable events included the continuation of the Third Anglo-Maratha War's repercussions, as British influence permeated further into central India. The year also witnessed efforts in educational reform, with the promotion of English language education and the establishment of institutions which laid the groundwork for modern educational practices. Additionally, cultural movements emerged, including the early stirrings of social reform, heralding a gradual awakening of nationalist sentiments among Indians.
