Shocking. Only 35,000 British soldiers were enough to rule India...

So only the Bengalis really resisted the British?

@Lulldapull

Yes - this was largely the case, and then - mostly led by High Caste Bengalis (both Hindu and Muslim) who were better educated. But Bengal in those days included most of Eastern India, including UP, Punjab, Bihar, Orissa (Odisha). most of modern day Pakistan, Myanmar and most of the NE Seven Sister Indian states.

You see - most of India was still ruled by Princely states who paid tithes to the British. The British ruled a few pockets may be amounting to a total of 50%. This was divided into British ruled "presidencies" - such as the Bengal presidency, the Madras presidency, the Bombay presidency etc.

If you understand these historical demarcation lines drawn by the British (and why they marked them as such), a lot of the cultural demarcations of India will become clear to you.
