However, this new law created a free space for the cultivation of spices and the trade in Malabar without any barriers. It was more helpful to the land owners to strengthened their symbiotic relationship with the English East India Company. In turn, the Company desired the support of the higher castes.

Transfer of partnership interest may not be easy: In partnership, the identity changes at any time either by partner members coming out of the partnership or by joining of new partners. But in both cases, we need to dissolve the old partnership first and to create a new partnership. Any single partner can dissolve the partnership any point of time and the process of this dissolution and final assets and obligations transfer can be quite tedious. The right to be a partner cannot be assigned or transferred to another person without the unanimous consent of the other partners; the profits and losses generated by the partnership business are taxable in the hands of the individual partners.
The Portuguese controlled trade by enforcing tolls and taking over ships that didn’t pay the toll. In ship passes owned by Portugal they imposed a toll to improve the trade and obtain more money, however when the toll was not paid they would rob and capture people on the ship (Doc. 5). Before the Portuguese took over there were never any tolls that profited the portuguese. Thus shows a large extent of change because tolls were now being enforced. The muslim scholar addresses to the Southern Indian Muslims what trade is like after the Portuguese took over.
Crowns rule. Inheritance restrictions, trading and relocation and the inability of selling, trading or renting Indians had a positive and negative effect on the crown. It had a negative effect because those were the cause of the reduction of the crowns revenue. Maybe the reason for why the Crown chose encomiendas was because of the positive outcomes. Even though inheritance restrictions were one of the ways that reduced the crowns revenue it at the same time strengthened the crowns rule.
Benton, Lauren. “Legal Spaces of Empire: Piracy and the Origins of Ocean Regionalism.” Comparative Studies in Society and History vol.47 no. 4, (Oct. 2005). 700-724 Lauren Benton (a history professor at New York University) discusses the connections between the legal strategies of mariners in the late seventeenth century and the early eighteenth century, while illustrating the divisions between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans as separate legal spaces in “Legal Spaces of Empire: Piracy and the Origins of Ocean Regionalism.” Benton hopes to prove in her essay that pirates affected Atlantic legal politics and the relationship between the Mughal Empire and European nations in the early modern era.
Europeans wanted to create a better world between different cultures because at the beginning we study that Cristopher Columbus wanted to civilize native indigenous in order to have a better understanding between the European culture and the Native indigenous. Although the way this ideas were applied it was not the best for Africans and Native Indigenous people. Also, Europeans decided to build their own structure of buildings and crops. Europeans needed Indians in order to have a better understanding of the land, and trained them to become a part of their military and to help them to approach their idea of conquer the new land. In order to achieve their goals the conquest strategies used by Spanners, Portuguese down in Brazil, English, French,
Within the Historical sphere, there is no unanimity regarding the topic of Indian indentureship, the argument lies whether it was a system fraught with coercive tactics, in which recruiters would prey on naive individuals, or, in contrast, many individuals affirm the position that the indentured Indians were educated concerning the terms of the contract which they voluntarily acquiesced to. An argument which if often presented is, despite, the Indians were informed of the stipulations of their contracts which they voluntarily signed, through immense research the opposing party affirms, that the system and methods of recruitment implemented in the system of Indian indentureship were indeed coercive which is explicitly seen in the abduction of
Puritans (church members) were Calvinist who wanted to purify the Church of England they confine church membership to persons they believed to be “saved”, the bible was the final authority. Puritans settler in different parts all over North America, John Winthrop writing the Mayflower compact gave a significant power to Puritans in the New World looking for “a city upon a hill” leaving a political structure over New England in which the puritan had power over the colonies.

Dr.Lalvani claims that under British rule, India was modernized, giving the foundation for a government that therefore gave law and order. While this system and others were built, they were built almost entirely for British benefit and even profit. In this new government, Indians had no say in the laws being decided by the British, that were impacting them. The laws were meant to further control Indians, while the British extracted India’s wealth and flood India’s markets with textiles with the help of railroads. Wanting more and more wealth, the British logged forests to create land to grow cash crops which in the end degraded the soil making it more difficult for them to grow.

However, this shift in India’s political control occurred as a result of British attempts to develop their East India trade monopoly, which resulted in the British gradually conquering and collecting taxes from Indian states such as Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. Therefore, the central change in the Indian region was the shift of local

Despite the fact that British rule in India during the Imperial period was extremely negative for the Indian people, it ultimately created an improved Indian nation. The British forced the idea of monoculture, were racist, created unfair trade and economic distress. However, they did provide an education system, improved human rights, promoted peace and created a more modern society for the Indian nation. The British rule began in the early 1600’s.
This led to widespread hatred of the British by the indigenous population. The Indians believed that one of the main goals of the occupiers was to Christianize Hindu and Muslim populations. This, and the heavy taxation imposed by the British East India Company, led to immense resentment and several uprisings of the locals during British Rule. After the Indian Mutiny of 1857 the British Government abolished both the Mughal Dynasty, which was the local Indian Government, and the East India Company. Control of India was then given to a British Governor-General who reported back to Parliament and the Secretary of State.
