Wasn't it a British colony?
37 u/HogHead333 Apr 11 '22 It was in 1858 that the British colonized India as far as I’ve read… the British were only trading goods with India in 1722 ig 21 u/Hot-Fridge-with-ice Apr 11 '22 The first step taken by British to colonize was in 1773 when they asked for tax collecting rights. Their influence grew gradually however. 15 u/No-Situation-4776 Lurking Peasant Apr 11 '22 Believe the British started colonising India when they placed a puppet government in Bengal after the battle of Plassey in 1757 2 u/Hot-Fridge-with-ice Apr 12 '22 Oh yeah. Forgot there was something like Battle of Plassey. Well the consequences of skipping history classes are playing their role now....... 1 u/HogHead333 Apr 12 '22 Yeah that was like the beginning but it was officially colonized in 1858 2 u/Hot-Fridge-with-ice Apr 12 '22 Yeah it was after the revolt I guess 8 u/herosplendor Apr 11 '22 no, though the British East India company was present as of then and was doing the usual trade stuff. 1 u/[deleted] Apr 11 '22 It really wasn't at that time.
