Also The East India Company was also known as the [[Honourable East India Company]] (HEIC) and '[[John Company]]'. It was a joint-stock company that was granted an English Royal Charter on December 31, 1600 by Elizabeth I. The British East India Company started out as a commercial trading venture, but grew in strength and eventually virtually ruled India until the [[Indian Mutiny]] in 1857. See the Wikipedia page (link below) for further information.
