Abstract

In India, the emergence of British East India Company and modern science often happened simultaneously. The company was founded in 1600 AD. This was also the time of scientific revolution. By the time the Royal Society of London was replaced in 1662, the company's business had grown. Its commercial centers were established at Surat, Madras and Yajulipattat. In India, in the colonial period, the main science of early years - botany, geology and to some extent zoology - were taking the form. Around the same time, that is, between the 18th century, the company started expanding its territory. In 1749 the first volume of Buffon's book "Natural History" was published. At that time the rivalry between the British and the French in Kanautka was on Charat. In 1753, Linnaeus's work "Spiethys Plantarum" was published four years ago in the Palsi War of 1757, which paved the way for the British chief in Bengal. The method of binomial nomenclature came into vogue in this book. As a paradigm for the emerging generation of metropolitan scientific societies, by the founding of the Geological Society of London in 1807, British power had spread over vast tracts of the Indian peninsula, especially in North India, and was now set to break the back of the Marathas. Within three years of the publication of the first volume of the 1830 opinion Lyell's book Principles of Geology, the poetic enumeration occurs in the original originating texts of modern geology, the remaining trading rights in the company were lost, and in Nurbar, 1859, Darwin's "Origins" The company had surrendered its bag of beds 12 months before publication in the 'Off Species'.
