Download or read book Dawn of the Raj The Company that Ruled India The sensational history of the East India Company written by Ranjit Mishra and published by Sristhi Publishers & Distributors. This book was released on 2023-04-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intrepid band of sea-faring merchants, sailors and soldiers arrive from a distant land. While they come seeking some space in the court of Jahangir, the tide turns completely a century later. They become the largest power in the subcontinent – eclipsing the other empires, creating one of the biggest empires that the world has known. But how did the English East India Company grow to become such a force? From 1600 to 1858, the life span of the Company, there occurred its dramatic metamorphosis from a small commercial group sponsored by Queen Elizabeth into a cumbersome organization that controlled enormous revenues, vast properties, armed forces, innumerable ships and countless trading posts. Starting from the first ship that touched Indian mainland in 1608, for the next hundred years, the English factory at Surat was at the centre of struggle. The Company’s initial strategic entry into the nation is a fascinating story that this book tries to chronicle. Pitched against two formidable European rivals, two hostile successive rulers at home, some of the most dreaded and the most celebrated pirates of all times, the Mughal rulers in India and the Marathas in ascendency – this is the story of the East India Company.

Download or read book Renascent Empire written by Glenn Joseph Ames and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dit boek is gebaseerd op uitgebreid onderzoek in archieven in Portugal, India, Engeland en Frankrijk en is de eerste monografische studie van een cruciale, maar totnogtoe weinig bestudeerde periode in de geschiedenis van Portugals Aziatische rijk: de jaren 1640-1683. Ames' revisionistische werk laat zien dat in tegenstelling tot het traditionele beeld van onvermijdelijk verval en stagnatie in het Estado da India na 1640, deze jaren een vernieuwende en dynamische hervorming laten zien die de geo-politieke en economische stabilisatie van Portugees Azië rond 1683 tot gevolg hadden. Glenn Ames gaat in op de details van deze fundamentele verandering in het koloniale beleid jegens Azië zoals dat werd geïnitieerd door prins Regent Pedro van Braganza (1668-1702) en later zeer effectief in praktijk werd gebracht door Viceroy Luis de Medonça Furtado e Albuquerque.

Download or read book Adventurers written by David Howarth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unlikely beginnings of the East India Company—from Tudor origins and rivalry with the superior Dutch—to laying the groundwork for future British expansion The East India Company was the largest commercial enterprise in British history, yet its roots in Tudor England are often overlooked. The Tudor revolution in commerce led ambitious merchants to search for new forms of investment, not least in risky overseas enterprises—and for these “adventurers” the most profitable bet of all would be on the Company. Through a host of stories and fascinating details, David Howarth brings to life the Company’s way of doing business—from the leaky ships and petty seafarers of its embattled early days to later sweeping commercial success. While the Company’s efforts met with disappointment in Japan, they sowed the seeds of success in India, setting the outline for what would later become the Raj. Drawing on an abundance of sources, Howarth shows how competition from European powers was vital to success—and considers whether the Company was truly “English” at all, or rather part of a Europe-wide movement.

Download or read book Seafaring Sailors and Trade 1450 1750 written by G.V. Scammell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume of articles by G.V. Scammell offers new insights into the history of British and European shipping in the centuries of Europe's penetration into the oceans of the world, from the 15th to the 18th century. It examines the building, ownership and operation of merchantmen in the context of economic and social developments of the period, combining this with the investigation of the vital, but still comparatively neglected, subjects of the lives, working conditions, beliefs, skills and behaviour of seamen. This is the basis for discussion of the means and methods by which British shipping and merchants established themselves in oceanic trades, including those of other powers, considered in relation to the growth of British maritime and commercial supremacy. The final studies then examine the causes and consequences of European and British seaborne expansion, particularly in Asia.
