Question

What did the east india company do to expand their control in India

Answer 1

Answer:

A number of things contributed to the end of the East India Company. It acquired control of Bengal on the Indian subcontinent in 1757, and, as the company was an agent of British imperialism, its shareholders were able to influence British policy there. This eventually led to government intervention.

Answer 2

It gained a foothold in India with the establishment of a factory in Masulipatnam on the Eastern coast of India in 1611 and the grant of the rights to establish a factory in Surat in 1612 by the Mughal emperor Jahangir.
