ARTICLES RELATED TO French East India Company | | | |  French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - Pondicherry - Independence from FranceRight from the time India gained its independence from British rule in 1947, the issue of the French settlements was raised with the Government of France. It took seven years for Pondicherry to achieve freedom. However, even earlier there were agitations now and then against the French rulers.
In 1787 and 1791, farmers of Karaikal agitated against the heavy land tax imposed by the French. The first war of Indian Independence had its impact in the French settlements but it did not attract the attention of the rulers, as the incidents w ...

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - Pondicherry - History The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, of the early 2nd century AD, mentions a marketplace named Poduke (ch. 60), which G.W.B. Huntingford identified as possibly being Arikamedu, about 2 miles from the modern Pondicherry. Huntingford further notes that Roman pottery was found at Arikamedu in 1937, and archeological excavations between 1944 and 1949 showed that it was "a trading station to which goods of Roman manufacture were imported during the first half of the 1st century AD".1
Before this period nothing is known with certainty. The " ...

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - Pondicherry - Government & Administration Pondicherry is a Union Territory, not a separate State. A Union Territory (UT) has its own government but falls directly under the Central Government in New Delhi. Though a UT also has an elected Chief Minister and cabinet members, laws and legislative regulations made in these areas must get sanction or be ratified by the Central Government (Centre). The Centre is represented by the Lt. Governor, who resides at the R ...

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - Jacques Necker - Finance Minister of France In October 1776 Necker was made finance minister of France, though with the title only of director of the treasury, which, however, he changed in 1777 for that of director-general of the finances. He did great good in regulating the finances by attempting to divide the taille or poll tax more equally, by abolishing the vingtième d'industrie, and establishing monts de piété (establishments for loaning money on security). But his greatest financial measures were his attempt to fund the French debt and his ...

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - French colonial empires - The first French colonial empire The early voyages of Giovanni da Verrazano and Jacques Cartier in the early 16th century, as well as the frequent voyages of French fishermen to the Grand Banks off Newfoundland throughout that century, were the precursors to the story of France's colonial expansion. But Spain's jealous protection of its American monopoly, and the disruptions caused in France itself by the Wars of Religion in the later 16th century, prevented any consistent efforts by France to establish colonies. Early French attempts to found colonies in Brazil, in 1555 at ...

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - War of the Austrian Succession - Naval Operations The naval operations of this war were languid and confused. They are complicated by the fact that they were entangled with the Spanish war, which broke out in 1739 in consequence of the long disputes between Britain and Spain over their conflicting claims in America. Until the closing years they were conducted with small intelligence or spirit. The Spanish government was nerveless, and sacrificed its true interest to the family ambition of the king Philip V of Spain, who wished to establish his younger sons as ruling princes in Italy.

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Plassey - Background The primary reason for the battle was the Nawab's attack and capture of Fort William, India at Kolkata (anglicised to Calcutta) (which he renamed to Alinagar) during June, 1756.
This attack was caused by a number of disputes:
the illegal use of Mughal Imperial export trade permits (dastaks) granted in 1717 by the English to engage in internal trade within India - they began competing with local Indian merchants, and tried to avoid paying taxes using the permit;
English interference in the Naw ...

| | | | French East India Company: Encyclopedia II - Jean-Baptiste Colbert - Economic reform With the abolition of the office of superintendent and of many other offices dependent upon it, the supreme control of the finances became vested in a royal council. The sovereign functioned as its president; but Colbert, though for four years he only possessed the title of intendant, operated as its ruling spirit, having had great personal authority conferred upon him by the king. One must not judge the career on which Colbert now entered without constant remembrance of the utter rottenness of the previous financial administration. H ...
