English businessmen first came to India in 1612 as the English East India Company in pursuit of the spice trade. Until the early 1700s, they competed with other European trading companies. With the decline of the Mughal Empire, English influence increased. Then, in 1757, as part of the world-wide Seven Years War between the English and French, the French East India Company with their Bengali allies attacked the English East India Company in West Bengal about 150 km north of Calcutta. The British came to India to look for spices. and gold and silver but when they saw that Indians were fighting among themselves they eventually took control over India.
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 Indians started wearing British clothes, shoes and tried to follow British fashion and technology but Gandhiji told people to burn British clothes and start follow our religion and culture.
the Britishers colonized India for almost 200 years. but finally India got freedom on 15th august 1947. just after one year Dr. Ambedkar finished writing the constitution and laws of India on 26th January which is celebrated as republic day.
The Indians struggled a lot and salute to those people who died and helped India to get independent
