Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
James Rennell passionately backed British sovereignty in India. Oceanography was invented by the English geographer and historian James Rennell. The general who prevailed at the Battle of Plassey, Robert Clive, requested maps of India from James Rennell. He was aware of the significance of maps in helping the British capture more of India and broadened their sphere of influence. Rennell created several maps for the British as a devoted ally of the British. He even created a drawing showing Brahmins handing Britishers their sacred writings, further demonstrating the Indians' support for British rule in India.
The correct statement would be that James Rennell was a supporter of British rule in India.
