Mughal emperor Jahangir signed a commercial agreement with British East India Company and allowed them to establish trading posts in Surat and later on in Bombay, Calcutta and even Bengal. The company slowly monopolized trade in India and even expanded militarily. East India Company's forces crushed resistance from local rulers and grew in influence and power and eventually weakened the Mughal rule in sub-continent.
