India is a country in South Asia. From the sixteenth century, several European countries started arriving, as traders initially, but then taking advantage of the rifts between the various kingdoms, we went with imposing their colonies. In 1856, most of India was under the control of the British East India Company and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century. India became an independent nation in 1947.
