Colonization. Colonization (orcolonisation) is a process by which a central system of power dominates the surrounding land and its components. The term is derived from the Latin word colere, which means "to inhabit".
Technically, it became a colony after the Indian Mutiny/First War of Independence of 1857. The government realised that a commercial company [the EIC] could not be trusted to treat 300 million Indians with fairness and respect; so a proper colonial government should replace it – in those parts of India then under Company, rather than Princely, rule.

Hi,
Your answer :
Globalization, presented to us as the great novelty of our time, is nothing new to India: from the end of the 15th century, the riches of this far-off country have been the goal of many adventures of the merchant bourgeoisie that had developed in Europe.
At the time when Vasco de Gama reached the Indian west coast in 1498, India was far from being a country folded in on itself. Trade was intense and in some areas, such as Gujarat, a northwestern coastal state, artisanal tissue production popular throughout the Orient was flourishing. The merchant caravans of the Mughal Empire, a Muslim dynasty that ruled India at that time, went as far as Indonesia and China to the East, and to Persia to the West.
With the discoverers came the Western merchants: the Portuguese set up counters on the west coast, soon followed by Holland, Great Britain and France. The latter, arriving last in the race, had to settle for a few counters, like Pondicherry or Chandernagor.
The Europeans evicted Indian merchants from overseas shipping, developing a partnership only with the most important of them, who served as intermediaries.
The conquest of territories took place little by little. Great Britain imposed itself quickly: from the eighteenth century, it reigned supreme over all of southern India.
For several decades, especially those of the late eighteenth century, the East India Company made fortunes in the Indian trade, especially spices, cotton and silks. It imposed its monopoly by force and the trade was quickly transformed into looting pure and simple. The Company obliged the peasants and weavers to sell all their produce to it, at the price it fixed. It crushed the tax villages, which were going to swell the fortune of its shareholders.
The direct result of this looting, famine raged in 1770 in Bengal, yet one of the richest states of India, where artisanal production was developed: ten million people were killed ... But the Company, which had continued to collect the property tax during the famine and even increased it, was pleased to see its net income increase.
This period is the first phase of what might be called the development of underdevelopment in India.
The role of looting India in the industrial revolution in Britain
It is indeed the money levied on the looting of India which financed for a large part the industrial revolution in Great Britain. At the turn of the 1800s, this capital seized recent technical inventions, such as the steam engine, to invest not only in the trade of goods but in their production itself. The generalization of the use of machines transformed factories into factories and workers into simple complements of the latter. The industrial revolution replaced mass production with artisanal production.
It marked a new stage of Indian colonization, worse than the previous one. For if the British Company had subjected itself to Indian handicrafts, it also needed them as the primary source of its enrichment. With the advent of British industry, the Indian craftsman was now a rival to eliminate. The textile industry that developed in Britain could not tolerate competition from Indian fabrics.
To destroy them, she relied on the superiority of capitalist production and benefited from the direct assistance of her state. The British state put in place prohibitive tariffs, virtually prohibiting the export of Indian fabrics.
From a major country producing artisanal fabrics, India became a vast market for fabrics and English thread, the result of mechanized production. Between 1824 and 1837, imports of British muslin in India rose from less than a million meters to fifty-eight million! With the direct result that the population of Dhaka in Bengal, one of the major tissue producing regions, fell from 150,000 to 20,000 people.
Hope this help;)
