British Empire in India was born not through the absent-minded actions of a misguided trading company, but rather through the long-standing institutionally aggressive policy of the East India Company and the efforts of the various other forms of power, including the British and Mughal states, to assert authority over it. Moving away from an historiography created in the late eighteenth century that has divided the Company's history into an earlier trading period and a later imperial era, this dissertation argues for continuities in the story of the Company's political involvement in South Asia. As its authority matured towards the end of the seventeenth century, this "commercial" Company honed distinctly political strategies---ideological, legal, martial, and diplomatic---to compete against, negotiate with, and influence various states and individuals in Europe and Asia. By focusing on the institutions through which the Company governed and ideologies by which those institutions were legitimated and challenged, this dissertation reevaluates the history and historiography of early Anglo-Indian contact within its oft-overlooked political and global context while highlighting the broader themes of the ways in which state, commercial, and imperial power were constructed in the early modern period.
