	British East India Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British East India Company, sometimes referred to as "John Company", was a joint-stock company of investors, which was granted a Royal Charter by Elizabeth I on December 31, 1600, with the intent to favour trade privileges in India.
		By 1689, the Company was arguably a "nation" in the Indian mainland, independently administering the vast presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay and possessing a formidable and intimidating military strength.
		Despite stiff resistance from the East India lobby in parliament, and from the Company's shareholders, the Act was passed.

		To start a new trading company that would venture into the interests of European powers France and Britain was not easy, but at the same time the monopoly given to trade companies was a help.
		The Scottish and English merchants left out of the British East India Company were more than eager to have their share of the trade, by financing the new Swedish company.
		The reaction from the Swedish government was reluctant: the failure of a similar company based in Ostende in Austrian controlled Holland was not tempting the Swedes to go against the main powers.
