Establishment of British rule

The British East India company was struggling for gaining ground to establish itself permanently on the subcontinent since 1600 A.D. The other European colonialist powers had lost their will to keep themselves in a row with the English because of their superiority on seas. Lord Clive established English influence on sound footing and returned to England in 1787
When no rival European power was left on the scene, the English took advantage of the unsettled conditions of India and consolidated themselves politically. They cleverly played one local ruler against the other and conquered India with the might of India. They demonstrated great diplomatic skill and employed improved arms with a better knowledge of warfare. The Indian rulers, at last, fell a victim to their own entanglement. They were either forced to accept the authority of East India Company or to be completely wiped off. This process of expansion of the British occupation of India continued in one form or the other. Kingdom after kingdom fell and then the English finally pushed themselves ahead to succeed the Mughals.
