Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The British did introduce administrative changes in the territories they conquered.
The British began the process of territorial expansion after the Battle of Plassey. They acquired the areas and introduced administrative changes to make gains. For smooth administration, the territories were divided into three provinces- Bengal, Bombay and Madras. The administrative reforms were introduced in these provinces:
1)      The system of justice was reformed. Each district was to have two courts: Faujdari Adalat (Criminal Court) and Diwani Adalat (civil court).
2)      A collector was established as head of the district. His main aim was to collect revenues and maintain law and order.
3)      Judges, Police officers, and Darogas were appointed in the district to maintain law and order.
The correct statement should be that the British did introduce administrative changes in the territories they conquered.
