The article discusses the economic and political structure of Great Britain's Indian Empire. According to the author, the establishment of British Indian Empire was perceived as a step of the country's territorial expansion which is connected to naval power and inspired by their search for overseas markets. It changes their territorial scope to land based empire and focuses on shifting its power from naval to military style, while their revenues depend on exploiting agrarian production and securing cooperation from large corporations. In addition, their empire projects a hybrid and modern regime that collaborates British and Indian form of government, wherein its warfare conditioned their structures, practices and ideologies of a colonial state.
