Explanation:

While British traders in seventeenth-century South Asia were largely based in the coastal areas and rarely engaged in local politics, by the middle of the eighteenth century their attitude had changed significantly. Clashes with the Mughal Emperor and his provincial deputies concluded with the surrender of Bengal, the richest province of the empire, to Company control. Following three successful wars against their chief European competitor, the French Compagnie des Indes Orientales, the British had gained a greater stronghold in the south and soon a Company political representative or ‘Resident’ was sent to every significant court in the subcontinent. Here they exerted considerable influence and control, pulling strings to ensure that local ministers contracted treaties favourable to the Company.

As the East India Company’s power and confidence grew, many rulers of the subcontinent reached out to successive British monarchs, entreating them to intervene in the actions of their subjects, the Company servants. Letters and gifts, including manuscripts and paintings, were sent between South Asia and Britain, and relationships developed between the House of Hanover and many of India’s ruling dynasties. East India Company officers also presented gifts to British monarchs, and by the end of the eighteenth century the Royal Library had amassed one of the most splendid collections of South Asian paintings and manuscripts outside the subcontinent.
