Answer:

At first the British were only one group of foreign traders among several, fortunate to find in the Mughals a firm government ready to foster trade. Their entry into politics was gradual, first as allies of country powers, then as their virtual directors, and only finally as masters. At each step they were assisted by local powers who preferred British influence to that of their neighbours. It was mainly in the 20 years from 1798 to 1818 that they were consciously imperialistic and only thereafter that they treated India as a conquered(win) rather than an acquired country. The effect of this was to replace the defunct Mughal regime and the abortive Maratha successor empire with a vieled (अप्रत्यक्ष ) but very real hegemony.(lead).

Indians were accustomed(आदी) to the idea of political unity and overlordship. They admired the British for being more successful than themselves, while reprobating many of the British habits and doctrines.

Answer:

The establishment of the British Indian Empire marked the most significant political change during the colonial period. In 1757, the Indian subcontinent was divided into several kingdoms and provinces. Over the next 190 years, the British established direct rule over large parts of India.
