Ferengi Raj

The Term Ferengi Raj (Urdu for "European/French Rule") refers to the period of French colonial rule over the Indian Subcontinent. The period lasted from Direct French control of India in 1887, until the India Declaration, which granted independence to the whole of the Protectorate of India.

The State was officially referred to by the French as the "Protectorate of India" (French: Protectorat de l'Inde; Urdu: بھارت کی حفاظت)
