when where and how Britishers came in India
Answers
The British enter in Indian sub-continent at first as traders seeking spices. Spices were the primary way of preserving meat in Europe prior to the modern age. Then, having more modern and effective weapons, the sub-continent was brought into the Empire at gunpoint. As was commonly said: “The sun never sets on the British Empire.” It would have been more accurate to say: The British Empire consisted essentially of territories forcefully occupied and governed at gunpoint

Answer:
The British East India Company came to India as traders in spices, a very important commodity in Europe back then as it was used to preserve meat. Apart from that, they primarily traded in silk, cotton, indigo dye, tea and opium. They landed in the Indian subcontinent on August 24, 1608, at the port of Surat.
