This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The first British outpost in South Asia was established by the English East India Company in 1619 at Surat, India on the northwestern coast. The British subsequently expanded their influence in India, and by the 1760s they controlled most of present-day India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. In 1858, Parliament transferred political power from the East India Company to the Crown. At that time Great Britain began administering most of India directly, while controlling the rest through treaties with local rulers. |
