India became a part of the British Empire slowly starting in 1662 when Charles II married Catherine of Braganza and, as part of her dowry, Portugal ceded Bombay and Tangier, which became the first British colonies in India.

The British ruled India (or at least important parts of it) from the 1750s till 1947.

Acctually the British Raj was the British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. So they ruled in that time : 1858-1947.

Britains conquest of India was very slow, and even at independence in 1947 there were several princely states ruled by local leaders.
