1828 in India

The year 1828 in India was marked by significant political, social, and cultural developments during the British colonial period. The expansion of British control continued, with the consolidation of administration and infrastructure in various regions, particularly following the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817–1818). The introduction of the English Education Act aimed to promote English education in India, igniting debates about cultural identity and colonial influence. Notably, the Brahmo Samaj was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, advocating for social reforms and the abolition of practices like Sati. The year also witnessed various uprisings and resistance movements emerging against colonial rule, foreshadowing future conflicts in the subcontinent.
