1857 Times 3 Aug. 5/6 We have just seen a translation of one of the most infamous articles against the British Raj, which we have seen published.

1879 Times 8 Dec. 9/3 The downfall of the British raj was only a matter of time.

1908 Daily Chron. 21 June 4/4 The Indian agitators who represent the British raj as the author of the plague.

1940 Times 10 July 3/6 The Congress demand for a National Government so-called really meant a Congress ‘Raj’.

1969 R. Millar Kut xv. 288 Sir Stanley Maude had taken command in Mesopotamia, displacing the raj of antique Indian Army commanders.

1971 Illustr. Weekly India 18 Apr. 4/2 Though it appears paradoxical, in the last days of the Raj, the British were the only people who wished to keep India united.

1987 N. Sibal Yatra I. 6 Paramjit had written to her saying that the British were pulling out of India and that the Raj was coming to an end.

2006 Daily Mail (Nexis) 6 June 17 I've yet to hear him address the democratic deficit which subjugates the English to rule by a Scottish Raj.
