In 1600, they came with contracts. Now, they come with corporations.

When the British monarchy handed over a trading license to the East India Company (EIC) under the rosy banner of Free Trade and Globalization, it wasn’t commerce they had in mind—it was conquest. The mission was clear: exploit, extract, and “civilize” India. Sound familiar?

Fast forward to 1965. The Club of Rome—a cabal of top industrial houses (the real puppet masters behind the EICs)—split the world into 10 economic zones. Zone 9 (yes, India is in it) was marked for ruthless exploitation: oil, gold, diamonds, medicinal plants, uranium, organic food, and even clean drinking water—all now up for grabs under the shiny labels of Liberalization and Privatization.

The script remains the same. The actors have changed names.

The East India Companies haven’t vanished—they’ve just gone corporate. British, Dutch, French, and Belgian East India Companies, once direct arms of empire, have morphed into today’s Multinational Corporations (MNCs). Different name tags. Same boardrooms. Same bloodline of owners.

And what of their mission? Still civilizing India. Still modernizing us. Still dictating policies. Still funding conflict, chaos, and consumerism to keep us enslaved—just without the muskets and red coats.

This exposé doesn’t aim to rewrite history. It aims to unmask it.

India’s spiritual strength—the only thing we retained after centuries of economic and cultural mutilation—is now at stake. Again.

What we face today isn’t just bad policy. It’s a centuries-old colonial script, now dressed in suits, slogans, and seminars.

If we don’t wake up to this corporate colonization, the next 1000 years may not even leave behind a civilization worth saving.

The Ghosts of the East India Company: Still Trading, Still Ruling

When you think the British left India in 1947, you’re only half right. They took the flag, but the real empire stayed — hidden in the fine print of trade agreements, legal trusts, and the impenetrable layers of multinational corporations.

Let’s go back to the real masterminds — not the crown, not the parliament, but the Venetian merchants who hijacked England’s economy and planted a money tree called the East India Company. This wasn’t a standalone colonial venture. It was a spin-off of the Levant Company, which itself was a fusion of the Turkey Company (hello, House of Sassoon – Rothschilds’ in-laws) and the Venice Company (possibly the Rothschilds themselves).

So in 1600, what was birthed wasn’t just a trading company — it was a multi-national hydra with Dutch, British, Belgian, and French heads — all granted perpetual monopoly charters to “trade” (read: plunder) the East Indies, Africa, and beyond.

These were partnerships, not corporations in the modern sense. No need to declare profits. No list of partners. No addresses. Just appointed representatives acting on behalf of shadowy owners. The same model we see today: MNCs hidden behind shell companies, numbered corporations, and shady offshore trusts — with P.O. Box addresses in London and New York.

Sound familiar?

We see only the CEOs and the legal reps. But who really owns these MNCs? Who funds them? Who benefits? The same bloodlines that ran the East India Companies now operate today’s global behemoths — in different suits, under different names, with the same ruthless DNA.

Let’s ask the right questions:

• Who were the 40 original owners of the East India Company?
• Why did the British Empire pledge its army to fight for a company across four centuries?
• Where did the profits go — to the British people or to private vaults?
• Why did the dissolved EIC’s assets end up in Lloyd’s of London, a Rothschild-linked bank?
• Why did Privy Councils and Chancellors of the Exchequer — always also Bank of England chairmen — run India instead of elected leaders?

And why did Sir Stafford Cripps, a Rothschild ally and EIC mouthpiece, declare in 1946 that India deserved “independence” because it was no longer profitable?

That’s not freedom. That’s business downsizing.

He didn’t say that about South Africa, did he? Not until enough gold and diamond were squeezed from its mines.

The Charade of Modernization

Now fast forward to the 1990s. Liberalization. Privatization. Modernization. All sugar-coated phrases selling the idea that the West suddenly woke up and wanted to civilize India — again.

And what’s the bait? Billions in FDI, development, McKinsey reports, glossy ads. But the question is: Why now? Why is the same colonial elite so interested again?

Simple. They found something. And it’s not yoga.

With modern geological tech, they’ve located underground mineral goldmines, rare earth elements, medicinal plants, organic reservoirs, and human capital like nowhere else on Earth.

If Cripps had this data in 1946, the British Raj would’ve never left.

Instead, their heirs returned wearing suits and carrying iPads. They don’t need armies anymore. They have policies. FTAs. MNCs. Lobbyists. And domestic collaborators with MBA degrees and zero historical memory.

Our governments — local, state, central — either don’t know what’s really under India’s soil or are paid to look the other way. Either way, we the citizens must know.

It took us 100 years to get rid of the East India Company.

It’ll take less than 20 years to lose everything to MNCs, if we stay asleep.

And if we don’t recognize the modern EICs in Armani suits, we’ll be handing the nation back — without even a fight.
