give two reasons for the success of the british east india company
Answers
Answer:
1. Because of the Mughals because the Mughals only started trade with the Britishers.
2. Because of the Indian kingdoms lacked unity. They didn't attack on the Britishers at once, they attacked separately and for their own reasons.
Answer:
In less than a century, the British occupied a large part of India. The reason for the success of the British can be explained by a number of factors.
1. The Indian states lacked unity. Powerful states such as Punjab, Mysore and the Marathas failed to act unitedly against a common foreign enemy. All of them fell prey to the British policy of ‘Divide and Rule’. The British, on the other hand, were a united lot and under a unified command.
2. The Indian rulers failed to create a stable social, political and economic order. Most of them were short-sighted in the pursuit of their goals. They failed to win the loyalty of their subjects.
3. The badly-trained and poorly-paid Indian armies were no match for the disciplined and well-trained British forces.
