The document summarizes how Britain came to rule India from the late 15th century until the early 20th century. [1] Portugal established trading posts in India in 1497, followed by other European powers like the Dutch and French. [2] In 1600, the British East India Company was formed to trade with India and gradually expanded its influence through alliances with some rulers and fighting other powers and local rulers. [3] By the 1800s, the East India Company ruled most of India and goods were exported to Britain, until a major uprising in 1857 caused the British to dissolve the company and establish direct rule over India.
The British Empire in India, also known as the British Raj, lasted from 1858 to 1947. During this time, Britain established control over India and influenced many aspects of Indian society, such as architecture, legal system, sports, and language. When the Raj ended, India and Pakistan gained independence, with Pakistan established as a Muslim state and India becoming a secular country. To this day, British influences like English language, cricket, and legal system remain integral parts of Indian culture.

British rule significantly changed institutions and aspects of Indian society and economy.
