I'll stick this here for anyone wanting to know the real history of EIC and not some fancy, all-so-rosy version presented by EIC apologists.

Read also the book;

"Empire in Asia: How We Came by It. A Book of Confessions" by W.M.Torrens for a hard-hitting look at what the British actually did in India
