Question
Give the meaning of Absentee Sovereignty.
Solution
Absentee sovereignty refers to India's rule by the British government from England despite being thousands of miles away. The Indians thought that their riches were being drained to England rather than being used for their welfare. Absentee sovereignty refers to a situation where a foreign ruler or governing power controls a region from afar without residing in the governed territory. Decisions are made remotely, often leading to a lack of understanding of local needs and issues.
