"The Present State of the British Interest in India" by Anonymous is a late 1700s look at England’s control of India, specifically how the East India Company ruled Bengal. It analyzes how Britain’s actions in India affected both the country and the people living there. The story talks about how Britain could have gained a lot from India's resources if they had managed things better. Instead, the Company's bad handling of things caused problems. It paints a not-so-pretty picture of the way Bengal was ruled, calling it mean, uncaring, and economically devastating. The author hopes to make people realize these problems and wants Britain to rethink its ideas about India so that things can get better for everyone involved.
