England Won Second Test Against Pakistan.

England Won Second Test Against Pakistan.

[enigma-the-mysterious]

I love how football teams get potentially knocked out after a single loss meanwhile cricket world cup group matches are like "yes, Pakistan lost the last four matches but they still have a chance of qualifying to the quarter finals if India ties against Australia and Bangladesh defeats New Zealand by a 6.9 run rate and Ireland smashes at least 17 sixers against Sri Lanka but also loses the game against them and also if it rains 420mm in Lords stadium and the King of England trips on a banana peel and dies and the Australian Prime Minister disappears in a swimming pool."

Ok I'mma vent this out at once and will try to not utter a word about this cursed night again. India deserved this cup, they really did. Because if there's been a team who performed the best and embodied the spirit and passion of cricket it's been India. They did their best from the very first game against Australia... Jaddu's wickets (especially Smith's), the top order collapse and King and Rahul's partnership winning us the game (also Rahul's 97). Then came Afghanistan and Bangladesh - Rohit's century, Virat in delhi (vs Naveen, their hug), Hardik's injury resulting in our dear Cheeku's bowling, KL refusing runs to complete Virat's century, Ro - Vi - Rah hug 🤌and ofc umpire not giving the wide. The Pakistan rivalry came into the tournament but our streak was saved when we defeated them 8 - 0. Then came the most dreaded match against New Zealand - Vi's missed century was definitely a sore spot but the revenge was completed. Shami being shami showing why you should not bench him with his fifer and Jaddu hitting the final runs to avenge Mahi Bhai. England and Sri Lanka were no match - they were destroyed by our balling - the only good thing was Gill's knock, Shreyas' century and ofc RohiRat hugs ✨. We made a Sri Lanka out of South Africa with the King getting a century on his b'day and destroyed Netherlands but the main part was Virat and Rohit taking wickets. Then came the semis against NZ and honestly the whole desiblr was scared as fuck bcz of our history but Revenge was taken... Kohli shattering all records and hitting his 50th century making us prouder than ever (anushka's kisses and bowing to the God Sachin will forever be remembered) and Shami's 7 wickets, like is there a way to stop Lalaji bcz I can't think of one (amd what's this 7 factor? 397 runs, all out at 327, won by 70 runs, shami taking 7 wickets ? tribute to Thala ig). But it all came down to this, we lost the finals... After all this we lost, 1.5 billion hearts are broken, the 12 year wait continues. But this tournament will never be forgotten, we laughed and we cried with our team and supported them at every step. We saw moments we'll never forget, we made memories seeing records being broken and our boys having the time of their lives, hugging and dancing on the field and being more excited for the mighty fielding medal than the actual match itself. So this tournament will forever be remembered. You'd expect me to say congratulations to Australia but no, they played well ofc but no team played cricket better than India... Just bcz this team didn't performed in one single match didn't mean that they didn't deserve to win this. Kohli gave all of his soul, Rohit made this team what it is and Shami gutted all his haters but sadly luck was not on our side. After winning all 10 matches our unbeaten streak got broken in the finals only. Yes I'm heartbroken to core but at the same time I'm bloody proud of our boys who gave everything they had, your heads should be held high. In my own delusional world India won this cup and not just team India but the whole country. In my mind we are the winners and the team got the prize for their blood, sweat and tears. You'll all be remembered forever as champions.

The British occupation of India spanned over two centuries, starting in the early 1600s and lasting until 1947, when India gained independence. This period witnessed immense changes in Indian society, economy, and politics, culminating in the eventual partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan. Here’s a detailed timeline of the major events in the British occupation of India:

### **Early Contact and East India Company Rule (1600–1757)**

- **1600**: The **British East India Company (EIC)** was granted a royal charter by **Queen Elizabeth I** to trade in the East Indies, including India.

- **1615**: The British established their first trading post in **Surat** after receiving permission from the Mughal Emperor **Jahangir**.

- **1639**: The British founded the city of **Madras** (now Chennai) and built **Fort St. George**, solidifying their presence on the Indian coast.

- **1668**: **Bombay** was acquired by the East India Company after being ceded to the British crown as part of **Catherine of Braganza's dowry** to **Charles II** of England, and later leased to the EIC.

- **1690**: **Calcutta** (now Kolkata) was established as a trading settlement by the British under **Job Charnock**, which later became the capital of British India.

- **1757 – Battle of Plassey**: This marked the start of British dominance in India. The British, under **Robert Clive**, defeated **Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula** of Bengal, gaining control over Bengal and securing their foothold in India. The victory was largely secured through alliances with local rulers and bribery, establishing the East India Company's political power.

### **East India Company Rule and Expansion (1757–1857)**

- **1764 – Battle of Buxar**: The British defeated the combined forces of the Mughal Emperor, the Nawab of Awadh, and the Nawab of Bengal. The victory further solidified British control over Bengal and surrounding regions, with the Mughal Emperor granting the British **Diwani rights** (revenue collection) over Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa.

- **1773 – Regulating Act**: This was the first parliamentary act to regulate the affairs of the East India Company. The British government established control over the company’s operations and appointed **Warren Hastings** as the first Governor-General of India.

- **1784 – Pitt’s India Act**: This further strengthened the British government’s control over the East India Company’s administration, creating the Board of Control to oversee its political affairs in India.

- **1799 – Fourth Anglo-Mysore War**: The British defeated **Tipu Sultan**, the ruler of Mysore, who had resisted British expansion, and incorporated Mysore into the British sphere of influence.

- **1803–1818 – Anglo-Maratha Wars**: A series of conflicts between the British and the Maratha Empire, resulting in the defeat of the Marathas and the annexation of large parts of western and central India.

- **1824–1826 – First Anglo-Burmese War**: The British defeated the Burmese and annexed the provinces of **Arakan** and **Tenasserim**, beginning their expansion into Burma (now Myanmar).

- **1843 – Annexation of Sindh**: After defeating the rulers of Sindh in present-day Pakistan, the British annexed the region.

- **1845–1849 – Anglo-Sikh Wars**: After two wars, the British defeated the Sikh Empire and annexed the **Punjab** region, further expanding British control.

### **The Indian Rebellion and Direct Crown Rule (1857–1914)**

- **1857 – Indian Rebellion/First War of Independence**: A major, but ultimately unsuccessful, rebellion broke out against British rule, starting with the mutiny of Indian soldiers (sepoys) in Meerut. It spread across northern and central India and included both soldiers and civilians. The British brutally suppressed the uprising, but it forced a major shift in governance.

- **1858 – Government of India Act**: Following the rebellion, the British government dissolved the East India Company and transferred control of India directly to the **British Crown**. **Queen Victoria** became the Empress of India, and the country was now ruled by a **Viceroy** appointed by the British government.

- **1877**: **Queen Victoria** was proclaimed **Empress of India** during a grand ceremony, further formalizing British control.

- **1885 – Formation of the Indian National Congress (INC)**: Indian intellectuals and political leaders founded the INC to seek greater political participation and rights for Indians. Though initially moderate in its demands, the INC would become the leading organization in the Indian independence movement.

- **1899–1905 – Lord Curzon's Reforms**: British Viceroy Lord Curzon undertook administrative and territorial reforms, including the controversial **partition of Bengal** in 1905, dividing the province along religious lines into a Muslim-majority eastern part and a Hindu-majority western part.

### **Indian Nationalism and the Road to Independence (1914–1947)**

- **1914–1918 – World War I**: Over 1.3 million Indian soldiers fought in World War I for the British Empire, with promises of greater autonomy after the war. However, post-war reforms were minimal, causing disillusionment and increasing calls for independence.

- **1919 – Jallianwala Bagh Massacre**: British troops, under General **Reginald Dyer**, fired on a peaceful gathering of Indians in Amritsar, killing hundreds. This event sparked widespread outrage and galvanized the Indian independence movement.

- **1919 – Government of India Act**: The British introduced limited reforms, allowing some Indian participation in government, but it fell short of the demands for self-rule.

- **1920–1922 – Non-Cooperation Movement**: Led by **Mahatma Gandhi**, the Indian National Congress launched a nationwide non-violent resistance against British rule. The movement called for boycotts of British goods and institutions but was suspended after violence erupted in some areas.

- **1930 – Salt March and Civil Disobedience Movement**: Gandhi led the famous **Salt March** to protest British salt taxes, inspiring the broader **Civil Disobedience Movement** aimed at challenging British authority through non-violent resistance.

- **1935 – Government of India Act**: This act introduced more substantial reforms, including provincial autonomy, but still fell short of full independence. It was the last major constitutional effort by the British to control India before World War II.

- **1942 – Quit India Movement**: During World War II, the INC launched the **Quit India Movement**, demanding an immediate end to British rule. The British responded with mass arrests, including the detention of Gandhi and other leaders, but unrest continued.

- **1943 – Bengal Famine**: A devastating famine struck Bengal during the war, leading to the deaths of an estimated 2-3 million people. British policies, wartime inflation, and mismanagement contributed to the disaster.

- **1945–1947 – Post-War Movements**: After World War II, Britain, exhausted and weakened, faced increasing pressure for Indian independence. The Labour government under **Clement Attlee** recognized that it could no longer maintain control over India.

### **Partition and Independence (1947)**

- **1947 – Partition and Independence**: On **August 15, 1947**, India gained independence from Britain, but the subcontinent was divided into two nations: **India** and **Pakistan**. The partition caused widespread violence between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, and led to one of the largest mass migrations in history, with millions displaced and hundreds of thousands killed.

### **Conclusion**

The British occupation of India profoundly influenced the country’s history, reshaping its political, social, and economic structures. While it brought certain modernizations such as railways and legal systems, British rule also exploited India’s resources, leading to economic stagnation, social division, and significant human suffering, particularly during events like the Bengal famine and partition.
