Britain’s history in India is very interesting and complex to say the least. I was always fascinated at how the subcontinent was utilized and ruled by the British. Without Indian manpower much of the Empire’s expansion in Asia probably wouldn’t have happened. To this day I’m still amazed that the British amassed an army of Indians to fight for the EIC and Empire. Truly, truly fascinating. It all started with the EIC.
