What did the British do to protect the interests of those who converted to Christianity?

The British believed that Indian society had to be reformed. New laws passed to stop the practices like sati and child marriage. Widows were encouraged to marry again.

Following were the steps that the British did to protect the interest of those who converted to Christianity:

a) After 1830, the Company allowed Christian missionaries to function freely in its domain and even own land and property.

b) In 1850, a new law was passed to make conversion to Christianity easier that the Indians who had converted to Christianity can inherit the property of their ancestors.
