Best Answer

Before 1947, it was controlled by the British Empire (called the Raj), under the control of the Viceroy of India, who in turn reported to the Emperor/Empress.

Before that, there was a period of around 300 years when much of India was ruled by Muslim invaders originaly from Central Asia and descendants of Tamerlane, called the Mughals. (Mughal is an evolution of the word 'Mongol').

Before that there was no such thing as India; it was a collection of Princely States.

Hope that helps, and hope I've got my facts right.
