Скачать или смотреть CH - 3 | PART - 2 | THE GROWTH OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY’S TRADEAND INFLUENCE, 1600–1714

Rise of the English East India Company in India (1600–1757)

This video explains the early history, expansion strategy, and political ambitions of the English East India Company in India in a clear, exam-oriented manner. Starting from its humble trading beginnings, the video traces how the Company gradually combined trade, diplomacy, war, and revenue control to lay the foundation of British rule.

The English East India Company established its early factories at Surat, Masulipatam, Agra, Ahmedabad, and Hugli, and later developed Madras (Fort St. George), Bombay, and Calcutta (Fort William) as major centres. The weak political conditions in South India and the decline of the Vijayanagar Empire helped the Company expand rapidly.

The video also highlights:

How the Company forced Indians to finance their own conquest
The shift from Surat to Bombay due to Maratha pressure
The Company’s failed war with Aurangzeb (1686–1689) and its humiliation
Mughal tolerance due to trade benefits and naval dependence
Expansion in Bengal under Mughal farmans (1691, 1717)
Resistance by strong Nawabs like Murshid Quli Khan and Alivardi Khan
Growth of Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta as major urban centres
The Company’s monopoly charter (1600) and the system of private trade by servants
