Solution
At the Grand Durbar of 1877 in Delhi, Queen Victoria of England Was proclaimed the Empress of India. It had the effect of making India a Subordinate Union to the British Crown. She was also given the title of Kaiser-i-Hind. The country at this time was in the grip of famine. The lavish royal style and spending led the Indians to distance themselves from the British. They became conscious of the wide gap between the natives and alien rulers.
