Headquartered in the heart of the City of London, the East India Company had an almost unimaginable impact on 18th and 19th century Britain and Asia.

Later this month the Jeevika Trust  is organising a lecture by Nick Robbins author of  ‘The Corporation that Changed the World: How the East India Company shaped the Modern Multinational’.  This illustrated lecture will be very special.

• When:  Tuesday, 21st January 2014 from 6 pm
• Where:  Royal Geographical Society (RGS), Kensington, SW7

Jeevika Trust is a charity that works to tackle the roots of poverty in India which lie in India’s 600,000 villages.  Village poverty drives city poverty.  It was Mahatma Gandhi who said that ‘if the villages perish, India will perish’.
