    British rule in India during the 19th century relied heavily on technology and infrastructure development to establish control. The city of Lucknow was torn down and rebuilt to modernize it according to British ideals. British officers attended Indian colleges to learn local languages and customs in order to more effectively govern. It was important for Britain to educate some Indians to help administer the country as civil servants since India was largely viewed as a conquered land. However, educated Indians began advocating for more rights and self-governance through the Gilbert Bill, worrying British rulers like Viceroy Lytton. By the late 19th century, India had become hugely important economically and strategically to the British Empire.
