After the Revolt of 1857, the British Crown took direct control of India, and Prayagraj—then known as Allahabad—became one of the most important administrative and cultural hubs of the British Raj. This video explores how the British transformed Allahabad into "Mini Britain," establishing colonial architecture, setting up military cantonments, and using it as a center for governance, education, and law. Allahabad was chosen as the seat of the High Court, and the British built iconic institutions like Muir College (now part of Allahabad University), and grand structures that mimicked English town planning. From civil lines to churches and clubs, Allahabad became a model colonial city that reflected British power and influence. We also uncover the lesser-known stories of how the city's Indian identity was slowly suppressed, and how the freedom struggle later re-emerged from this very soil. Watch to understand the deep colonial impact on Prayagraj and how it became a symbol of British India. #allahabad #prayagraj #history #british #revolution Contact us at : historyconnect@newshumlog.com 🔗𝗧𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁: For regular videos, updates & more, subscribe to our YouTube channel.
