India is not a continent. However, you are closer to the truth than you might imagine. India is both name of a subcontinent (the Indian subcontinent) and a the name of a country which covers much of, but not all of this subcontinent. The Indian subcontinent lies in the south of the greater continent of Asia. It is a subcontinent due to a number of facts, some of which are the fact that India lies on its own tectonic plate (Europe on the other hand does not), and that the Subcontinent has many of the geographic features of a larger continent, contained independently in a smaller area. India is a country in the continent of Asia, and lends its name to the Indian subcontinent, which is largely, but by no means totally covered by India.

India has been described as a subcontinent!
The East India Company was a British joint-stock company with a royal charter that participated in international trade within the world-spanning British Empire. The Company was actively involved in the Indian subcontinent, particularly due to its lucrative trade resources. The EIC established some of the first British trade ports in India and eventually gained control of a large portion of the country. It was able to do so primarily through aligning with the Hindu raj (royalty) of India against the dying Muslim Mughal Empire. After becoming such a great power on the subcontinent, the EIC played a very important role in the politics of both India and the British Parliament, essentially buying their influence and way into power to improve and protect profit.
