How did the british take over and control india?
The East India Company was, strictly speaking, a commercial company. British interests play off one leader against another & seek to divide & rule the Indian provinces. Using Military power alliances are formed over time & a groundswell of popular support is gradually fostered. Quite how it all comes together, the British ruling such a diverse sub-continent, with relatively few resources, is something I do not know enough to answer. But what I do know, which has great resonance today, is that the British never conquered Afghanistan……..
