India before 1720 was the most fruitful and wealthy country.This was seen by the foreign invaders and this gave a chance for the british to put there foothold in INDIA for trade purpose.The british came here for trade purposes and did trade for 10 -15 years.But now the mughal empire in India was on the zenith to decline.All the rulers were fighting amongst themselves and by seeing this british got that Indians are not united and thus they started ruling India.They started establishing there colonial polices on India.this gave a lot of benefit to them as they were getting raw materials and even established there markets.
The britishers made the Indians worked under them.They took the raw materials from India like cotton then after going to Europe and making cloths with it at a cheaper rate there. they brought it in India and sold it to them forcefully at a really expensive price.By this the Indians became poorer and poorer. THIS continued till 1860. After that MAHATMA GANDHIJI came to India and made us proud by shamefully sending the britishers out.
