1790 in India

The year 1790 marked a significant period in Indian history, characterized by political changes and socio-economic developments under British colonial rule. At this time, the British East India Company was consolidating its influence in India, following victories in regional conflicts such as the Anglo-Mysore Wars. The continued tensions with local powers, including the Marathas and Mysore Sultanate, shaped the political landscape. Additionally, this year witnessed burgeoning trade and cultural exchanges, as European interests intensified in the subcontinent. The socio-political fabric of India began to evolve, setting the stage for future resistance movements and the eventual struggle for independence. Key figures during this time included rulers and reformers who navigated the complexities of British dominance and indigenous governance.
