Question

What was the purpose of Sir Thomas Roe and Capt. William Hawkins to come to India in the sixteenth century

Answer 1

Answer:

Thomas Roe's contribution to the establishment of the British Raj cannot be undermined. Even though he obtained only trading rights for the British, this was the first step in the beginning of the British control of the Indian subcontinent. He stayed in the Mughal court for three years from 1615 to 1618.
