farmers in check and get huge sums as revenues in return. They forced the
commercialisation of agriculture with the growing of various cash crops and the raw
materials for the industries in the Britain. With the strong political control, the British
were able to monopolise the trade with India. They defeated their foreign rivals in
trade so that there could be no competition. They monopolised the sale of all kinds
of raw materials and bought these at low prices whereas the Indian weavers had

of raw materials from the farms to the port, and of finished goods from the ports
to the markets. Also, English education was introduced to create a class of educated
Indians who would assist the British in ruling the country and strengthen their political
authority. All these measures helped the British to establish, consolidate and continue
their rule over India.
