India as a british colony

Name of the colony : India ( all of )
In 1617 india established trading rights with the british empire. However in the 18th century things changed when the mughals declined in power. In 1857 india becamed ruled completly under the british crown. They hoped to sell cloth ( there biggest import) to britan.However britan had litle demand for it. So instead they traded unique indian goods such as spices and silk. At first the british were very acomidable to them, but wen indias trading declined there views changed quickly as they took over the country becoming brutal. The first war against the british was in 1857, but they were easily beaten back down. Then M.K gandhi came along and took hold of indian politics. His strict non violence movement eventually gained indias indipendance in 1947 on august 15th. I find it interesting that no violance is what gained there freedom rather then brutality and force. The main way to get one you want even in modern society.
