Then something called the “Sepoy mutiny” happened....why did both Hindus and Muslims revolted and how the situation ended.By 1850 the British east India Company controlled most of India?
The trigger for the mutiny related to grease used to lubricate cartridges for use in muzzle loaded rifles. There were rumours that the grease was a combination of pig fat (religiously unacceptable to Muslims) and cow fat (religiously unacceptable to Hindus). That pretty much put the whole army offside. The British were not very tactful in the way that they dealt with the situation and would not compromise. Of course the Indians were a proud and ancient bunch of people, and subjugation by a foreign power was always a cause for resentment.
The mutiny was brutally suppressed.

In 1858 following the queen Victoria's promalgation, governance of India went under the British Parliament by ending East India company's rule is a separate matter and nothing to do with so called renaming of East India company.

Why did the British East India Company have so much unsold tea?
Colonists were buying smuggled tea, for cheaper prices then the BEI Co, so they in-turn sold dirt cheap tea to England, that was of better quality then the smugglers. So you would think the colonists would go for it, but England also needed taxes to pay for the costs from the French and Indian War. So they put a tax on the BEI Co's tea, which in turn, made the colonists flip out. For no apperent reason. lolWhy did the British East India Company have so much unsold tea?
Ark is more or less right, but I thought the problems started when the BEI company pointed out that it could not compete with smuggled tea and got the tax lifted. That threatened to put the smugglers out of business, so they organised a raid on the BEIC tea in Boston.Why did the British East India Company have so much unsold tea?
