thanks:)What reforms did the british east India company bring to the Indian political system?
The East India Company brought political stability by bringing in good police,judicial and educational systems. They proceeded from the view that a strong company government was meant only for welfare of Indians. (They did not care about improving the economic condition of people) They kept relentless pressure on the Indian princes and petty principalities and annexed many of them when there was no male heir. They took sides in quarrels between Indian rulers and by precipitating wars annexed the little principalities. Even the frightened Indian rulers themselves thought it safe to live under the British umbrella by ceding large tracts of territory to the British rulers or by handing over to them powers to collect land revenue
