Jamie Kassiotis Farmer #4 British India

Hello everybody, it's Caleb again.
Things have basically stayed the same since my last post, so i'm not going to talk about my life. Instead, I'm going to talk about India. India is a very unique place, it is a British colony and is a great source of wealth. Many sons of titled families go to India as army officers to earn their fortune. I am not the son of a titled family, but I don't think you need to be rich and fancy to join the military in India. Why are only the wealthy able to take advantage of these opportunities? It's not fair. India is run mainly by the British, so it would be just like living here except much hotter. British India or British Raj was founded in 1858. The U.K. had complete control over it. The East India Company controlled trade and set up factories and mills in India.


That's the flag of British India.
Well, wish me luck going to India! I don't know how it will work out trying to get into the army there but I make so little money now farming I have to find something else to do. Goodbye!
