Question

Do you think the British would have been able to rule over India, if the Mughal Emperor had not given them the permission for trading in our country?

Answer 1

Answer:

The decline of the Mughal Empire, signalled by the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, also gave Britain an opportunity to gain more control over India. The falling empire resulted in a power vacuum, which Britain took advantage of. ... Taxes were high, and the Indian textile industry was not supported.Some recent research suggests that British rule did little for India in economic terms. Britain gained hugely from ruling India, but most of the wealth created was not invested back into the country. For example, from 1860 to about 1920, economic growth in India was very slow - much slower than in Britain or America.
