Did the British come to India to rule or for some other purposes?
Can you tell me something about the British coming to India? Did they come to rule or for some other purposes?
The British first came to India in the early 1600s for trade and commerce. However, they slowly began taking control of different regions and eventually established the British Raj in the 1800s, which allowed them to rule India for over 200 years. So, it can be said that they initially came for trade but eventually came to rule India.
