On 31st December 1600, The East India Company was granted its charter by Queen Elizabeth " for the honour of this our realm of England as for the increase of our navigation and advancement of trade". But the British who arrived as traders in India slowly and steadily became involved in matters other than economic.
From 1858 on wards the British became the rulers in true sense of the term. The British presence in India was naturally reflected in the architecture of India. The buildings built between the 17th and the 20th century collectively portray the 'colonial architecture'.

1 Public library (1864) Allahabad, UP
2 Muir College (1879)
3 Ewing christian college (1901)
4 Allahabad High court (1916)
