What was east India company and how was it involved in the politic of the sub-continent?

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.
