Chapter -10

In the 1600s I saw some traders coming to the Indian Subcontinent called the East India Company. It was the Mughal emperor Jahangir who allowed a company in eastern India to set up their first factory in Surat in 1612 and from eastern India they began operating as a business in India. They used to present expensive gifts for the Kings of India. Britain also donated funds to the Indian Kings in some cases in order to gain the favor of the Indian emperors. Following this strategy, the East India Company gained the favor of the king of the Vijayanagar Empire, the empire that ruled South India. The East India Company started their second factory in 1640 in Madras with the help and permission of the Kingdom of Vijayanagar.

Likewise after 1660 they started one company in the Mumbai Sea and another in Calcutta as they tried to dominate the coastal areas because if you wanted to invade the country you had to cross their coastal borders first and the East India Company, there were other foreign powers like Dutch, Portuguese and French operating in those coastal areas. One question that came to my mind was who really gave these immigrants permission to have their own army? The answer is the Mughals of India. Some of the last leaders of the Mughal Empire were weak and did nothing good in India. They just enjoy their position as sultan and enjoy the expensive gifts given to them by these foreigners. Initially the East India Company only had permission to have security guards to protect their trade. But in the middle of the 18th century the East India Company and other foreign powers assured the Indian monarchs that their business and trade should be protected and therefore needed to keep a fully armed force comprising the armies of Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry. Then the East India Company starts the Power and Dominance game. They have sent troops to Bengal, Madras and Bombay. In 144, the combined power of the East India Company Armies was 2.5 lakhs. And strangely enough in the British war, more than 90% of the soldiers were indigenous Indians and only a few were Europeans. Now let's take a look at each war that has its own Indian history. 1612 Battle of Swally British East India fought a war with the Portuguese army and emerged victorious. The foreign powers also had wars and others because everyone wanted to end their rule in India. On the other hand, the Indian rulers did not show solidarity against these foreign powers and continued to fight each other. Attacks on the Marathas and Sikh empires weakened the Mughals. The company was originally set up to grow and expand trade in the East Indies and the Far East in a spice trading company in a growing English company. so that they could better move their comrades to England and later build fortresses to defend their industries and ultimately disrupted the rule of the smaller empires that existed there at the time and sided with the various rulers. The King gradually became the puppet of the people he ruled over and sooner or later a s kingdom was taken by the British in some cases they fought the war with the empires and found the empire the last way accepted by the so-called dynasty when the king who had no natural heir could not find a heir and the empire simply abandoned the British territory this was contrary to Hinduism -1857 The company dominated India and the rest of Asia and Africa and expanded the British Empire, probably the largest British colony then at that time. India was both the largest and largest in the Middle East and became part of the British colonies. their hands in colonialism but unable to support that they found a small trading company now became the end of political power in India and with the blessings of the British government began to rule the country with t he helped the emperor-general later known as Viceroy the end of corporate law came with mutiny in 1857 when the Queen decided to rule directly and asked all company officials to return from 1858 the British government ruled India directly in 1947
