  • (B) Jewel in the Crown
  • (C) Rainbow Nations

In the period of the British Raj, India was frequently referred to as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the Empire. This nickname emphasized the importance of India—the sheer number of its population, its resources, and its profitability made it the “crown jewel” of the British colonies. The nickname really caught on in the late 1800s, particularly during the tenure of Lord Curzon as viceroy, when such imperialistic parlance was common.
