English Question on Glimpses of the past
In picture 2 what do you understand by the Company’s “superior weapons”?
Answer
In terms of technology, the East India Company surpassed the Indian princes, who engaged in frequent conflicts amongst themselves.
The Englishmen possessed superior weaponry, leading the Indian princes to seek their assistance in their battles.
Exploiting these internal conflicts, the East India Company gradually subdued each Indian principality, ultimately establishing dominion over the entire Indian subcontinent.
