tion:The Anglo-Mughal war,[2][3] popularly known as Child's war, was the first Anglo-Indian war and the earliest British attempt of colonization in the Indian Subcontinent that lasted from 1686 to 1690.The Anglo-Mughal war,[2][3] popularly known as Child's war, was the first Anglo-Indian war and the earliest British attempt of colonization in the Indian Subcontinent that lasted from 1686 to 1690.Anglo-Mughal WarPart of Anglo-Indian WarsThe British East India Company had been given a monopoly and numerous fortified bases on western and south-eastern coast of the Mughal India by the British Crown, permitted by the local governors.In 1682 WILLIAM Hedges (colonial administrator) was sent on the behalf of the Company to negotiate the Governor of the proto-industrialised Bengal Subah, Shaista Khan and to obtain a firman, an imperial directive that would allow the English Company regular trading privileges across the Mughal provinces.In 1685, after some breaking of negotiations by SIR Josiah Child, Bt, the Governor of Bengal reacted by increasing the TRIBUTARIES of the trade with the north-east from 2% to 3.5%. The company refused the newly introduced taxes and began to force the province of Bengal to accept new terms in the favour its trading power and expressed to capture Chittagong, establish a fortified enclave throughout the region, and attain independence of the surrounding subah from the Mughal territory by bringing the local governors and the Hooghly River to their control, which will later allow to form relationships with the Kingdom of Mrauk U based in Arakan (today's Myanmar) and hold substantial power in the Bay of Bengal.Upon request, King James II of England sent warships to the company based in India, but the expedition failed.[4] Following the dispatch of 12 warships with the British troops, a number of battles took place and led to Siege of Mumbai and burning of the city of Balasore. New peaceful treaties were negotiated, but the East India Company failed to reach an agreement. The British naval forces caused the blockage of the Mughal PORTS on the western coast and attacked the Mughal Army, and vessels containing pilgrims to Mecca were also captured.The conflicts heavily affected major cities like Mumbai, Madras, Kolkata and Chittagong, which resulted the intervention of Emperor Aurangzeb, who seized all the factories of the company and arrested members of the British Army, while the company forces commanded by Sir Josiah Child, Bt captured further Mughal trading ships and set the houses on fire of MANY faujdars.Ultimately the British East India Company was defeated by the army of the Mughal Empire and the company was fined 150.000 rupees (roughly equivalent to today's $4.4 million). The company's apology was accepted and the old firman was granted by Emperor Aurangzeb.[5]
