Answers
Answer:
East India company which came to India as a trading company and got settled here for almost 200 years its bcoz of the circumstances which favored them and it was only bcoz of Indians were not together to the common enemy.The british first of tried to hold the economy of india by getting the diwan rights from bengal and later on settlements which destabilised and deindustrialised indian economy and work force which made us to depend on british for once and for all.
As british motive was to create a middle / captalist class which were loyal to them and this led them look at zamindars of india and made them mediators of the process and made them as the real exploiters from the people but they didnt get the success of what they desired but it had its effects on the indian economy taking it into a bad shape.Later the two policies which took the toll of indians were the Subsidiary alliance(1798) by lord wellesly and other was the Doctrine of lapse(1848) which rutlessly taken the hold of totally India infact lord dalhousie was the only person to annex 60% of India in this time. More over this was only possible becoz of Indian rulers where not unified to the common enemy that was British only bcoz of age old isssues of caste,varna etc this was only got ridden off when modern nationalist came into the people/national movement especially when gandhi entered the politics of india and changed the whole scenario of India by uniting the people to defy common enemy.
