British rule of India (3)
I believe the answer is:
raj
'british rule of india' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for raj that I've seen before include "British rule (in 19dn)" , "Indian government" , "British dominion over India" , "Jar (anag.)" , "The period of British rule in India" .)
