Autorenporträt
Professor Ravi, for your Colonial History course, I propose "Trade to Empire: East India's Rise." This book explores the fascinating transformation of the East India Company, from a humble trading enterprise to a powerful empire builder in India. We'll delve into the economic, political, and military strategies that fueled this dramatic rise, and the impact it had on the Indian subcontinent. "Trade to Empire" meticulously examines the company's early focus on spice trade and its gradual shift towards political and military dominance. We'll analyze the complex relationships between the company, the Mughal Empire, and other powers, exploring opportunities that allowed the company to gain a foothold in India. The book doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of colonialism. We'll explore the exploitative practices of the East India Company and the devastating impact on Indian society. The book also examines the evolving role of the British government, culminating in the establishment of the British Raj in India. But "Trade to Empire" goes beyond just events. It delves into the long-lasting impact of the East India Company's rise, shaping not only India's future but also the global balance of power. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this pivotal era of colonialism.
