Answer 2

Eighteenth century India was constantly in a state of metamorphosis. History highbrows would name it a juncture of change and continuity. On one side, there was decentralisation of power, with the rise of regional kingdoms and downfall of the mighty Mughal empire. On the other hand, a new foundation of the British empire in India was being laid, with the colonisation of India by the English East India Company (EIC). Amidst all the chaos, the EIC developed a stronghold in the sub-continent by eliminating other European competition and entering into conflicts with local rulers.
