Discuss the methods the British used to established their rule in India? C. Zonunchama Roll no 118.

The company officials utilised different methods to established control over the Indian states. These methods were mention in the following points.

1 . Trade :  Before the beginning of the British rule in India, there was a background of Indo- European economic relationship. The British East India company established in 1600, as the company of merchants of London trading into the East Indies. The company gained footing in India in 1612 after mughal emperor Jahangir granted the right to establish a factory in Surat. Infact , at the beginning this company had no interest in the development of colonies, perferring to engage in trade only, following the pattern set by the Portugese. But they extended their interest into establish their rule in India by the extension of their trade in India, and to ruin the local trade by spread of western goods.

2.  The british company created friendly relaitionship with Indian Ruler  :  The company did not simply march its armies in a pure military conquest followed by annexation. Instead, the company attempted created friendly relationship with the Indian states.The company’s relationship with Indian states were paistakingly developed pollitically and economically prior to any millitary confrontation. The company posted commercial or pollitical agents in each of the major Indian states which it dealt. As the company power grew during the 1757-1857 period, it used a variety of methods to reduce the autonomy of each state it encountered.

3. Decline of the Mughal Empire : The Mughal Empire decline in the first half of the eighteen century. The pollitical vacuum was  filled by the rise of regional states like Bengal, Hyderabad, Awadh, Punjab and Maratha kingdoms. But these regional powers could not provide lasting political stability resulting into a lustful chance for the British East India company to establish a territorial empire in India.

4. Introducing Doctrine of lapse : Dalhosie also took advantage of every opportunity to acquire territory by peaceful means . This principle was called the Doctrine of Lapse.  Through Doctrine of Lapse Dalhosie annexed Satara  (1848) , Jhansi and Nagpur (1848) . As a result of these annexation, a large part of the central provinces came under the British rule.
