The Indians then saw that the Britishers came to India for wealth but they were taking control of their land. The Britishers stole Indian things and became very rich. They asked Indians to give their land to them but Indians didn't agree with that and tried their best to get independent and free. People like Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Jawarharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose comforted the people by giving them hope that one day they will get independent. They gave their lives to help India get free and independent. The Britishers were expecting Indians to change their religion and become Christians.

The East India Company was, strictly speaking, a commercial company. British interests play off one leader against another & seek to divide & rule the Indian provinces. Using Military power alliances are formed over time & a groundswell of popular support is gradually fostered. Quite how it all comes together, the British ruling such a diverse sub-continent, with relatively few resources, is something I do not know enough to answer. But what I do know, which has great resonance today, is that the British never conquered Afghanistan........

the british take control ok cape town in 1852
There were three main points for taking control:huge benefits through large volume of trade;strategic importance of India; andfear of Russian expansion.These points should be highlighted and explained.EXPLANATION OF THE POINTSThe East India Company was founded in 1600. It carried on profitable trade and gradually became a formidable military power and had planted itself firmly in India. Between 1757 and 1857 the British expanded their control over Indian territories in order to ensure their trade. India provided food grain and raw material for British industries and it was a huge market for British manufactured goods. In fact British industrial development was financed by the profits obtained from trade with India.The British looked after their possessions in the Middle East and the Far East from their strong hold in India. The volume of trade and strategic importance of the subcontinent meant that it was too valuable to be left in the hands of a trading company.In the 19th century the British became fearful of the Russian expansion in Central Asia. It worried the British so much that they made moves to secure Afghanistan. Although the British adventure in Afghanistan in 1839 failed miserably, but in 1858, after the failure of the War of Independence 1857, the British assumed full and proper control of whole of India. Through a declaration i 1858 the control of East India Company was ended and India went under the control of the British government.In short, the huge volume of profitable trade, the strategic importance of India, and fear of expansion of Russia in Central Asia were the reasons why the British took control of the affairs of the East India Company in the early nineteenth century.
The British took over in 1747.
