Explain the new idea of administration and reforms which were brought under the colonial period?

The new idea of administration that was brought in under the colonial period was that every aspect of administration had to be formalized according to rules and regulations. Hence, there was great emphasis on bureaucracy and on putting down every administrative action in writing.
 
The new ideas of reforms were that some of the traditional practices in Indian society like the practice of sati and the prevention of widow remarriage could not be allowed to continue.
