The British East India Company gained control of much of India after a decisive victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 over the Nawab of Bengal. During the 1700s and 1800s, the East India Company slowly took control of more Indian territories as the Mughal Empire declined. While initially just a trading company, the EIC gradually began exercising administrative and military control of the regions it dominated. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British government took over direct control and administration of India, establishing the British Raj which lasted until 1947.
The British East India Company gained control of most of India as the Mughal Empire declined in the early 1700s.

The document provides information about British rule in India from the 1600s to 1900s. It summarizes that the British East India Company gained control of much of India after a key victory in 1757. Over the decades, the Company took over more local administration and tax collection until it essentially governed large parts of India. There was resentment from Indians due to discrimination, economic policies that damaged local industries, and interference with cultural traditions. In 1858 the British government took direct control as imperial rulers after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
After gaining power over India in the 18th century through the British East India Company, tensions rose between British rulers and Indian peoples. This led to the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny when Indian soldiers rebelled against new rifle equipment they found religiously objectionable. Though the rebellion was crushed within a year, it fueled Indian nationalism and prompted Britain to take direct control over India. Under the British Raj that followed, infrastructure improved but British economic policies negatively impacted local industries and many farmers. Meanwhile, educated Indian nationalists increasingly advocated for more self-governance and independence, led by figures like Mohandas Gandhi and his nonviolent resistance movement.
The Battle of Plassey in 1757 marked the beginning of British rule in India. The Nawab of Bengal and his French allies were defeated by the British East India Company due to betrayal by the Nawab's army commander Mir Jafar. As a result, the entire province of Bengal came under British control, establishing their power in the subcontinent.
The British East India Company gradually expanded its power in India throughout the 1700s, taking control of governmental functions and making agreements with local rulers to acquire trade rights. In 1857, rumors that new rifle cartridges were coated with animal fat offended Hindu and Muslim Indians and sparked a widespread mutiny among regiments against their British commanders. Though the last Mughal emperor was installed as the leader of the revolt, most Indians did not participate, and the rebellion ultimately strengthened the view of the British as an occupying power in India. The British government replaced rule by the East India Company after putting down the revolt.
The British came to India for trade but eventually established political control over the entire subcontinent through a series of wars, treaties, and policies. They defeated rival powers like the Marathas and Sikhs and annexed their territories. Through policies like subsidiary alliances, doctrines of lapse, and revenue settlements, the British made the Indian states dependent on them and consolidated their rule. This led to economic and social changes that negatively impacted India's economy and people's livelihoods.
This document summarizes Henry Handel Richardson's childhood experiences in Maldon, Victoria that inspired her novels.

The document also highlights how Richardson's novels, such as The Getting of Wisdom, were based on her memories of living in Maldon in the 1880s.
The British Raj refers to the British rule over India between 1858 and 1947.

Key events that increased British control included the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 after which the British government took direct control over India from the East India Company. While British rule brought infrastructure development and order, it also negatively impacted India's economy through taxation and policies that led to famines, and did not allow Indians significant roles in government.
From Trade to Territory,The Company Establishes PowerVirda Azmi
The East India Company began as a small trading organization in 1600 but over time expanded its power in India through a combination of trade, battles, and political manipulation. After defeating the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the Company established control over Bengal and installed puppet rulers. As the Company sought to expand trade, it increasingly took on political and territorial control. By the late 18th century, the Company had eliminated or subjugated rival European trading companies and powerful Indian rulers like the Nawab of Bengal and Tipu Sultan of Mysore. The Company then began directly governing large parts of India and implemented policies like subsidiary alliances and the Doctrine of Lapse to further expand

Examples of biomimicry include bullet trains modeled after kingfishers, underwater sensors inspired by dolphin communication, carbon dioxide filtration based on human lungs, and self-healing materials from wound healing in the body.

Our decisions are influenced by both emotional and rational thinking. Emotions play an important role in decision-making by quickly alerting us to important situations and driving moral behavior. However, rational thinking is also necessary for making good decisions, especially when faced with unfamiliar situations or complex problems with many variables. The interplay between these two systems in the brain helps us navigate decision-making, though an overreliance on either emotion or reason can lead to poor choices. Metacognition, or thinking about our own thinking, is another important tool that allows for learning from mistakes and exerting self-control over impulses.

Petroleum exploration by s. k. de gtc -dec 2011GTClub
Petroleum exploration involves mapping subsurface rock formations to locate potential sources of oil and natural gas. Geologists and geophysicists use techniques like seismic surveys and subsurface mapping of sedimentary basins to identify areas for test drilling. Oil and gas are typically found trapped within sedimentary source rocks under cap rocks at sufficient depths of burial and temperatures/pressures. In India, major discoveries have been made in areas like Assam, Gujarat, and offshore the east coast. While ONGC and Oil India initially led exploration, the government now licenses both domestic and international companies to explore new areas.
