With the thunder of cannons at Plassey and Buxar, the East India Company didn’t just win battles—it seized a continent. Led by the cold and cunning Sir Robert Clive, a trading company became an empire in all but name.

What followed was not just governance, but domination. The Company ruled with profit as its god and power as its weapon—its flag flying over a land it was draining dry.

In this gripping episode, Keith dives into the brutal reality of Company Rule at its height in the early 19th century. Who were the men behind the ledgers and the muskets? What horrors were unleashed in the name of commerce? And how did a handful of merchants from London tighten their grip around the throat of a nation?

This is the story of ambition, betrayal, greed—and the true cost of empire.
