Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life and governance of the East India Company in Bombay during the early 18th century. Through a rich collection of diary entries and official documents, the author paints a vivid picture of the Company's activities in a period marked by rapid expansion and political intrigue. The book's central focus is the Bombay Presidency, a key outpost for the East India Company in its quest to control the lucrative trade routes of the Indian subcontinent. We see the challenges of building and maintaining infrastructure, managing relationships with local rulers and populations, and navigating the complex world of international trade. The book explores the dynamics of power within the Company itself, revealing the tensions between the President, the Council, and individual members, often driven by personal ambition and competition for resources. It sheds light on the role of religion in colonial administration, examining the Company's attempts to manage religious diversity and establish control over the local population.
