Evaluate the extent to which rulers of Indian states could exercise power independently from the British in the period 1750-1900 answer quickly please i need a thesis statement and include imperalism

Rulers of Indian states could exercise power to a minimal extent because when the British imperialized India, they gave the Indians little power in government in the period of 1750-1900.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
