Abstract

This research examines the evolution of police administration in British India and its transformations in modern India. The British police system was centralized, authoritarian, and brutal, focusing on maintaining order and controlling local populations. Despite India's independence in 1947, colonial legacies persist in modern policing. The study examines key issues like politicization, corruption, and the need for reforms. It also explores potential pathways for developing a more transparent, effective, and community-oriented police force.
