Which sentence from the article
shows why the East India Company
eventually gained so much political
power?

The accumulation of enormous capital often also attracts political support.

Explanation:

This locality was established by the British as early as 1600. And as competition in India, primarily France, emerged, so made this company gain in importance. EIC is a significant factor for Britain. The military regularly guarded the area, and by the 1920s, it was gaining and gaining political importance. The EIC was of great importance to the economy, a sophisticated economic system was developed (for that period), and to protect commercial interests, the government itself, which provided political support to the corporation, was involved in the whole story. On the other hand, there were factions in Britain who objected to the rise of the political power of the EIC and that excessive political interference by London could have negative connotations for British colonial policy. Even the church spoke at one point, pointing out some non-moral elements related to the corporation in terms of exploitation and slavery.
