Shalimar Bagh in Lucknow

It is completely terrifying, and equally fascinating, when you put The East India Company in the context of a mere office building in London in the early 18th century. It was no more than five windows wide, and had less than 35 permanent staff members. Yet, thanks to its own private military, it went on rewrite the entire history of the modern world, looting, starving and murdering countless people under the guise of doing business. What they essentially committed was corporate crime at its absolute worst.
