Answer: HERE YOU GO BROTHER
Explanation:
Indian rulers encouraged foreign companies to trade in their kingdoms because of the following reasons.

2. Indian rulers could obtain revenue by imposing taxes on the foreign traders. This way, they could increase the wealth available in their treasuries.
3. Indian rulers also hoped to use the soldiers and armies that accompanied the foreign traders to settle local disputes with other neighbouring kingdom.
