How did Britain Conquer India?
The
British East India Company Multinational Corporation was able to conquer India
and it was only in 1858 after the Indian Mutiny of 1857 that the Brown Crown
captured India from this Company.
The British first arrived in India about 1600 AD and for more than 150 years were content to be merchants who established small forts and military ceremonies and had a few large ports built for their ships. One has to remember that India did not have a navy ship to speak of because most of our trade took place by land or by foreign ships. This lack of foresight and strategy for building warships was the first mistake. Shivaji Bhosle the first king of Maratha tried to build a warship but after his death, his followers did not pay enough attention. This meant that our coast was unprotected at a time when maritime power was beginning to dominate the world.

The
British had traded with India for more than 150 years before the Plassey War
their first major victory and knew the entry and exit of India at that time.
They saw that the Indians were hopelessly divided between religions and the
sect and that all classes and religions hated one another. They have
successfully used this hatred to play on the nations.
For
example, Tipu Sultan of Mysore was defeated with the help of the Nizam of
Hyderabad and Marathas. The British later defeated the Maratha with the help of
Nizam. They later defeated Nizam. This is a brief representation of the vision
of those days. The Indian monarchs had little idea and this meant that they did
not foresee the tactics that the British were doing to complete it.
The
Sikhs and Marathas tried to unite with the British but to no avail.
The
British have found enough men to fight for because of the different races,
religions and provincial competitions that still plague India today. They have
promised help and money so that one party can revolt against their opposing
party if they support it.
For
too long the Indian Kings lacked foresight. The Indians were taken by their
rules of the list. Their troops were imprisoned in religious and religious
circles because only people of a certain race could take up arms to fight. The
people of India were ignorant of the character and motives of their enemy. They
did not know that their real war was against the English, so they fought among
themselves. Due to the lack of education for the people, there was a shortage
of good leaders in India who could see the threat of the British East India
Company and fight it. This sentenced India to 200 years of slavery when famine,
genocide and evil policies destroyed India's wealth and prosperity.
Superstition
meant that many Hindus believed that going to sea meant losing their party.
The
British had their class-based society but were a united people. In contrast to
this India had the following social structure.
One
Community Say Community Marathi. Many castes fought for supremacy in one
society. One Caste states that the Brahmins sub are divided into the Brahmins
of Kokanastha and Deshastha in Maharashtra. Everyone will hate each other.
When
the British Empire distributed education to everyone in India modern education
was scarce. Only special people had access to education and that was not
enough.
The Industrial Revolution came at the same time India fell into Britain and the decline of India as a force. This meant that the ruling British British had no reason to allow industrialization in India and it meant that India was left out of today’s economy which is still hard to get out of.
