Solution
The East India Company established itself in India during the reign of Alamgir II.
Explanation:
The East India Company gained a decisive foothold in India during the mid‑18th century as Mughal authority weakened; under the reign of Alamgir II, the Company’s growing power (notably after the conquest of Bengal in 1757) began to replace Mughal influence, paving the way for colonial expansion.
