3-Raj --- A Hindi word that mean "rule".

4- Sepoy --- A name given to Indian soldiers serving under British leadership.

5- Jewel in the Crown --- The name given to India as the most important territory held by the British Empire.

Explanation:

1- The Viceroy was a king-appointed official ruling the country or colony. He represented the king and performed a number of administrative, military, judicial and ecclesiastical functions on his behalf, and was awarded royal honors. In some cases, the office was reserved for one of the members of the ruling dynasty.

2- Home rule refers to the self-government of a colony, in which settlers elected their own representatives, that in turn had to respond to the metropolis.

3- In Hindi, the term raj means "rule". It was used to describe the British colony in India, as it was a territory under British rule (British Raj).

4- Sepoy was a name commonly used for an Indian soldier especially at a time when India was a British colony. The designation has remained partially used by the armies of India, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh, where it refers to the value of a soldier.

5- Jewel of the Crown was the main nickname of the British colony of India, due to its incalculable value within the English possessions, thanks to its natural resources and the labor that this provided to the interests of the British Empire.
