Dear Student,
1. In 1600, the East India Company acquired a licence to trade, from Queen Elizabeth I, of England. The company got the sole right to trade with Eastern countries. No other company in England was given the right to trade.
The Portuguese traders landed on the western coast of India and established themselves in Goa. Later during the 17th century, the Dutch also started trading in India. Soon after the Dutch, the French entered the Indian shores.
This competition between different trading companies resulted in fierce clashes between the trading companies and the sinking of each other's ships. They blocked routes and prevented rival ships from moving with supplies of goods.
East India Company started its first factory in West Bengal, on the banks of the River Hugli, in 1651. As trade developed, the Company asked local merchants, who acted as middlemen for them, to come and settle near the factory. By 1696, the Company built a fort around the settlement of merchants. In 1698, the company got zamindari rights for 3 villages, from the Mughal ruler. Thus they entered the political scene in India.
Please ask a separate question in a different thread.
