Indirect Rule

System of colonial government widely employed by the British for the administration of colonies. Indirect rule sought to encourage and govern through local institutions and traditional authorities with a view to promoting self-government in the long term.

Indirect rule was the opposite of direct rule, the French system, which imposed the administrative system of the colonial power and sought to impose linguistic and cultural uniformity.
