Synopsis
This book is a volume of proceedings from meetings held by leading figures of the British East India Company. It details the political and commercial activities of the East India Company in the early 18th century, showing how the company was able to assert itself as a major economic and military power in southern India. As this fascinating book reveals, through detailed minutes of meetings held by Elihu Yale and his Council in Fort St. George, Madras, the company was an aggressive political and economic actor which, in addition to advancing its trade interests, also negotiated with local rulers, fielded armies, and even built fortifications. Through these activities, the book shows how the company was able to establish the foundations of British rule in India.
