Map Of Undivided India ???????? Before the advent of British rule, India was a self sufficient and flourishing economy, popularly known as the Golden Eagle. India had already established itself on the world map with a decent export of textile and other goods. But the 19th century and early 20th century saw increasing poverty in India during the colonial era. Over this period, the colonial government de-industrialized India by reducing garments and other finished products manufactured by artisans in India. The Britishers were granted trade access by Emperor Jahangir. They landed in the Indian subcontinent on August 24, 1608, at the port of Surat in modern day state of Gujarat. Emperor Jahangir granted a Farman to Captain William Hawkins permitting the English to erect a factory at Surat in 1613. Rest is the History!
