Abstract
what began as an exercise of hubris, great britain's presence in india was strong and far-reaching. Via the East india Company, formally established in 1660, Indian trade patterns grew as the eighteenth century progressed. Through india, the British Empire expanded to become an all-permeating social, political and economic dominance. By the final decades of the eighteenth century, india's meaning to the British Empire was hardly a symbolic one. great britain had countless trade outposts within the subcontinent, and its economic stability was closely linked to the nations' trades within and because of its imperialism of india. india held great meaning for britain in that it allowed the crown to expand, profit and stretch its political muscle. The two nations had a converse relationship.
