In our own day when (informal) empire and globalism are talked about and witnessed with ease, Clive¿s position as both a servant of the East India Company¿which developed into the world¿s largest transnational trading company at the time¿and an agent of imperialism makes him a surprisingly resonant figure. Zusammenfassung No one in the early days of the British ventures in India was as well known or as controversial as Clive became.
