Why did Britain colonize India?
I see. What were some of the other reasons that compelled the British to colonize India?
Another reason was the desire to spread Christianity and Western civilization in India. The British believed that it was their duty to bring enlightenment to India and to civilize the people there. They also wanted to establish political and military dominance in the region to protect their other colonies and trading interests in Asia.
