The company rose to account for half of the world's trade, particularly in basic commodities including cotton, silk, indigo dye, salt, saltpetre, tea and opium. The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its own private armies, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions. Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 after the Battle of Plassey and lasted until 1858 when, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown assuming direct control of India in the form of the new British Raj. ======================= *😀Thought of the day* ======================= Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. ======================= *JOKE OF THE DAY* * ======================= *Dr. Chintu* : To patient's friend, agar 1 ghanta pehle le aate to hum isey bacha lete. . . *Patient's Friend:* Abay, 15 min pehle tou accident hua hai ======================= *😳WHY❓❓❓* ======================= *Why Ocean water z Salty.....* ⁉️ Ocean water contains lots of different mineral salts: sodium, chloride, sulfate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate and bromide. These salts enter the ocean through rivers, which pass over rocks and soil, picking up salt along the way. This salt builds up in the ocean because the only way water can leave the ocean is through evaporation. And when the water evaporates it doesn't take the salt with it. So you end up with less water, and the same amount of salt, resulting in a pretty salty sea. ======================= *LEARN Sanskrit**🙏🏻 ======================= *जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी।* Mother and motherland are superior even to Heaven." ===================== 🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ======================= *How do an Internet Work?* The internet is a worldwide computer network that transmits a variety of data and media across interconnected devices.
