The British primarily came to India as traders and later occupied the country taking advantage of the disunity among the Indian kingdoms who were constantly fighting with each other. The country was first declared as a part of British Empire after the Revolt of 1857 (also called Sepoy Mutiny). In this revolt, most of the revolutionaries were the general people and the higher members of the society including the rulers did not assist them in the feat. This led to a disorganized and violent breakdown of revolution but then defeat. By this time the East India Company had already occupied major parts of the country and easily colonized the whole nation into their empire.
