The British entered India through their trading company, The East India Company in 1608. They eventually established their government and ruled the country for at least a decade.

The British established presidencies in order to create ease for their trade. They wanted to make their trade efficient and economical. The presidencies were: 

(i) Bombay Presidency.

(ii) Calcutta Presidency.

(iii) Madras Presidency. 

These were established to the coastal areas, which made overseas trade easier and quicker.

Later, under the British Empire these served as government capitals.
