Best Answer

Britishers got attracted to India because seeing the merchandise travelling from India to Europe and America (which with Columbus discovery had been revealed in his travels- A New World Revealed, that Indians were living prosperous there also), they, the British pirates and navigators, got interested to loot and rob that country.

British Empire was created through such means only.

They wanted to occupy India's land.
europeans wanted to come to India thru sea route because they all wanted to buy spices and silk and muslin. all European explorers travelled thru sea route on the way to India. India at that time was called a golden bird. Columbus also wanted to come to India but he was mis directed and landed in America and founded America. bartholomew diaz on the way to India explored Africa. out of many voyagers only one got to India because one of gujarati merchant showed vasco de gama near South Africa the way to India and he safely landed in India. at that time India was a land of gold. gold was just like iron in India. so all europenas wanted to conquere India.
