Days It was the beginning of the nineteenth century. The British who came to India for trade began steadily to acquire political power in the name of the East India Company. The Indian rajas and maharajas who were engaged in quarrels competed with one another to become puppets in the hands of the British. Every misfortune of India at the time was used to expand the British Empire.
