The British established control over India through the East India Company from 1757 to 1858. During this period, known as Company Rule, the East India Company established colonies at Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta and extended its dominion over much of India through military conquest. In 1858, after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British government dissolved the East India Company and established direct rule over India under the British Raj, which lasted until 1947.

3. British Rule in India
Company rule in India (sometimes, Company Raj,[1] "raj,"
lit. "rule" in Hindi[2]) refers to the rule or dominion of
the British East India Company on the Indian subcontinent.
This is variously taken to have commenced in 1757, after
the Battle of Plassey, when the Nawab of Bengal surrendered
his dominions to the Company,[3] in 1765, when the Company
was granted the diwani, or the right to collect revenue,
inBengal and Bihar,[4] or in 1773, when the Company
established a capital in Calcutta, appointed its first Governor-
General, Warren Hastings, and became directly involved in
governance.[5] The rule lasted until 1858, when, after
the Indian rebellion of 1857 and consequent of theGovernment
of India Act 1858, the British government assumed the task of
directly administering India in the new British Raj .

8. The English East India Company (hereafter, the
Company) was founded in 1600, as The Company of
Merchants of London Trading into the East Indies. It
gained a foothold in India in 1612
after Mughal emperor Jahangir granted it the rights to
establish a factory, or trading post, in the port
of Surat on the western coast. In 1640, after receiving
similar permission from the Vijayanagara ruler farther
south, a second factory was established in Madras on the
southeastern coast. Bombay island, not far from Surat, a
former Portuguese outpost gifted to England asdowry in
the marriage of Catherine of Braganza to Charles II, was
leased by the Company in 1668. Two decades later, the
Company established a presence on the eastern coast as
well; far up that coast, in the Ganges river delta, a
factory was set up in Calcutta. Since, during this time
other companies—established by
the Portuguese, Dutch, French, and Danish—were
similarly expanding in the region, the English Company's
unremarkable beginnings on coastal India offered no
clues to what would become a lengthy presence on

9. The Company's victory under Andrea Bustamante
and Robert Clive power in the 1757 Battle of Plassey and
another victory in the 1764 Battle of Buxar (in Bihar),
consolidated the Company's power, and forced
emperor Shah Alam II to appoint it the diwan, or
revenue collector, of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. The
Company thus became the de facto ruler of large ares of
the lower Gangetic plain by 1773. It also proceeded by
degrees to expand its dominions around Bombay and
Madras. The Anglo-Mysore Wars (1766–1799) and
the Anglo-Maratha Wars (1772–1818) left it in control of
large areas of India south of the Sutlej River. With the
defeat of the Marathas, no native power represented a
threat for the Company any longer.[6] The end of the last
Anglo-Maratha War in 1818 marked the era of British
paramountcy over India.[7]

 The Madras Presidency, officially the Presidency of
Fort St. George and also known as MADRAS
Province, was an administrative subdivision of British
India. At its greatest extent, the presidency included
much of southern India, including the present-day
Indian State of Tamil Nadu, theMalabar region of North
Kerala, Lakshadweep Islands, the Coastal
Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra
Pradesh, Ganjam, Malkangiri,Koraput, Rayagada, Nabara
ngapur and Gajapati districts of southern Odisha and
the Bellary, Dakshina Kannada, and Udupi districts
of Karnataka. The presidency had its winter capital
at Madras and summer capital at Ootacamund.

16. In 1639, the English East India Company purchased the
village of Madraspatnam and one year later it established
the Agency of Fort St George, precursor of the Madras
Presidency, although there had been Company factories
at Machilipatnam and Armagon since the very early 1600s.
The agency was upgraded to a Presidency in 1652 before
once more reverting to its previous status in 1655. In 1684,
it was re-elevated to a Presidency and Elihu Yale was
appointed as president. In 1785, under the provisions
of Pitt's India Act, Madras became one of three provinces
established by the East India Company. Thereafter, the head
of the area was styled "Governor" rather than "President"
and became subordinate to the Governor-General
in Calcutta, a title that would persist until 1947. Judicial,
legislative and executive powers rested with the Governor
who was assisted by a Council whose constitution was
modified by reforms enacted in 1861, 1909, 1919 and 1935.
Regular elections were conducted in Madras up to the
outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. By 1908, the
province comprised twenty-two districts, each under
a District Collector, and it was further sub-divided
into taluks and firqas with villages making up the smallest
unit of administration.

17. Following the Montague-Chelmsford
reforms of 1919, Madras was the first
province of British India to implement
a system of dyarchy, and thereafter
its Governor ruled alongside a prime
minister. In the early decades of the
20th century, many significant
contributors to the Indian
independence movement came from
Madras. With the advent of Indian
independence on 15 August 1947,
the Presidency was dissolved. Madras
was later admitted as a state of the
Indian Union at the inauguration of
the Republic of India on 26 January
1950, and was reorganised in 1956.
