India was a favorite trading post for many European nations.

There were wars among the

many European countries as each wanted to conquer Indian markets. 1600 the British
Merchants received the charter from the queen of England to trade with the eastern
countries. This charter gave the East India Company the right to trade for 15 years. Thus, it
was the British government who supported the English merchants. if the queen had not
given the charter India would not have become slave to the british.
