Q. With whose permission did the English set-up their first factory in Surat ?
(1) Akbar

(4) Aurangzeb
Ans. (2)
Exp. The English East India Company was formed in 1600 through a charter signed by Queen Elizabeth I granting permission to trade with India. Captain Hawkins paid to visit to the Court of Jahangir in 1608, but failed to secure trading rights. However in 1613, on Sir Thomas Roe's visit they were permitted to establish their first factory at Surat. Gradually the company established its trading centres at Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. The English established their settlements/factories in Masulipattam (1611), Agra, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Broach (all in 1619), Kalikota and Govindpur (1698).
