The account of the East India Company's conquest of broad regions of Asia and the disastrous effects of its rule over a nation.

The youthful Mughal emperor was overthrown by the East India Company in August 1765, and his position was taken by English businessmen who used a private army to levy taxes.

The establishment of this new administration signalled the East India Company's transition from a traditional business to something much more unique: a worldwide conglomerate that evolved into a belligerent colonial force. The company's power expanded during the following 47 years, essentially ruling almost all of India south of Delhi from a boardroom in the city of London.
