- Came​ ​from​ ​lands​ ​that​ ​are​ ​now​ ​part​ ​of​ ​Afghanistan​ ​and​ ​Uzbekistan
- The​ ​Mughal​ ​emperors​ ​ruled​ ​over​ ​a​ ​largely​ ​Hindu​​ ​population​ ​for​ ​almost​ ​200
years.​ ​The​ ​Mughal​ ​emperors​ ​were​ ​Babur,​ ​Humayun,​ ​Akbar,​ ​Jahangir,​ ​Shahjahan
and​ ​Aurangzeb.




The​ ​East​ ​India​ ​Company
- ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​1600​ ​ ​East​ ​India​ ​Co​​ ​founded​ ​as​ ​a​ ​means​ ​to​ ​capture​ ​control​ ​of​ ​the​ ​pepper
trade​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Dutch​ ​in​ ​Indonesia
- The​ ​East​ ​India​ ​Co​ ​prospered​ ​as​ ​an​ ​importer​ ​of​ ​luxury​ ​goods,​ ​first​ t​ extiles​​ ​and
then​ ​tea​;​ ​given​ ​a​ ​monopoly​​ ​of​ ​all​ ​English​ ​trade​ ​to​ ​Asia​ ​by​ ​royal​ ​charter​;
- Evolved​ ​into​ ​a​ ​strong​ ​commercial​ ​enterprise​ ​only​ ​matched​ ​in​ ​size​ ​by​ ​the​ ​Dutch
- The​ ​Co​ ​was​ ​a​ ​joint​ ​stock​ ​Co​:​ ​3000​ ​shareholders​ ​subscribed​ ​to​ ​a​ ​stock​ ​of​ ​£3.2
million;​ ​a​ ​further​ ​£6​ ​million​ ​was​ ​borrowed​ ​on​ ​short-term​ ​bonds;​ ​between​ ​20-30
ships​ ​a​ ​year​ ​were​ ​sent​ ​to​ ​Asia​ ​and​ ​annual​ ​sales​ ​in​ ​London​ ​were​ ​worth​ ​up​ ​to​ ​£2
