"Actually, we did"
The East India Company became
the de facto ruler of India after its
victory at the Battle of Plassey inĀ Ā
1757. It governed a region with aĀ Ā
population of 150 million, exercising
control over taxation, maintainingĀ Ā
military forces, and exerting political
influence. By the early 19th century, it
controlled key regions such asĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
Bengal, Madras, and Bombay. ThisĀ Ā Ā
serves as a historical example ofĀ Ā Ā
how a corporation could dominateĀ
and govern a country.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
