The colonization of India by Europeans refers to the period when various European powers, particularly the British, Portuguese, French, and Dutch, established control over large parts of the Indian subcontinent from the 16th century onward. The British, through the East India Company, gradually expanded their dominance, culminating in the British Crown's direct rule in 1858. The colonization led to significant economic, social, and political changes, with India becoming a major source of raw materials and a market for European goods. It also triggered resistance movements, ultimately leading to India's independence in 1947 after a prolonged struggle for self-rule.

Major Baman Das Basu (1867–1930) was an Indian army physician, botanist, nationalist, historian, and writer. He resigned from the Indian Medical Service after serving in Chitral and Sudan due to the conflict with his nationalism and joined his brother Sris Chandra Basu in editing and publishing books on Hinduism from the Panini Office, Allahabad. A promoter of Indian medical traditions, he completed the botanical work begun by K.R. Kirtikar on Indian medicinal plants. Baman Das Basu was born in Lahore, the youngest son of Bhubaneshwari Devi and Shyama Charan Basu (who came from Tangra Bhabanipur, Khulna and studied at Calcutta under Alexander Duff). His father moved to Lahore and initially served as a headmaster of an American Mission school.
