1753 in India

In 1753, India was marked by significant political and social changes amid the decline of the Mughal Empire and the rising influence of European colonial powers, particularly the British and the French. The Seventh Carnatic War, part of the larger conflict for supremacy in India between Britain and France, intensified during this period. The British East India Company solidified its foothold in Southern India, capitalizing on the weakening of regional kingdoms. In the North, the Maratha Empire was gaining strength, asserting its dominance over various territories. Additionally, this year witnessed the emergence of notable regional leaders and the ongoing complexities of trade, culture, and religious dynamics within a diverse Indian society.
