The British government's rule has left a legacy that still affects India today: some of it is good while

some of it even bad. Though it is not possible to speculate India without the colonial rule, but it is certain that India would have been, today, entirely different. The present administrative system in India, is a legacy of the British rule. The British government in India introduced a system of public administration which was meant to suit the needs of the mother country: maintenance of law and order, collection of revenues to meet its expenditure, retention of powers in the hands of the British civil servants, protection of the British imperialistic designs and territories; and yet the system of administration, in terms of organization and training, though not with regard to the developmental tasks, remains the same. The Central Secretariat, which manages the administration of the central government and its functioning can be traced to the days of 1843; the Indian Councils Act of 1861 introduced the portfolio system which, through changes from time to time, has came to our days; the British days of 'departments' changed into 'ministries' after independence. The present day state administration and local administration system owe their origin to the days of the British rule in India. Lord Ripon's resolution of 1882 is rightly described as the 'Magna Carta' of local government in India while the dyarchical system of 1919 had placed' local government' under the 'Transferred' system. The 1870 financial decentralization . measure was introduced by Lord Mayo for the provincial local administration. The parliamentary system, as adopted in independent India, is the legacy of the British government, either it prevailed in Britain or the Britisters introduced it in India as it s them while administering us. The legislative councils through the Charter Act of 1853 or the subsequent Legislative Councils Acts included the executive councilors as members of the legislative councils, a feature in all parliamentary systems in which members of the executives are men: of the legislature. Likewise, the right of the legislates questions, supplementary questions, discussion of legislative measures are devices of parliamentary control ole: executive is a normal feature of parliamentary control the executive as developed through the acts of 1861. I 1909 and 1919 and the like, The British parliamentary ) it should be kept in mind, had been a major influence prospective parliamentary system. The present military organization in India owes its existence to the Britishers, and as such, another significant British legacy. The regimentation of the Indian army, (examples, the Gorkha, the Rajput, the Sikh and the have still been modelled on what the Britishers had introduced during their rule in India. With the British having gone, the Indian Army still follows the British organization, training and the fighting methods.
