Это – официальный список директоров Ост-индской компании. По традиции, в составе директоров – 12 одновременно руководящих человек, и вот что интересно: в 1758 году их число вдвое больше – 24 человека. Такое удвоение состава могло произойти в одном случае – при слиянии двух компаний в одну. Вот только удвоение директорского состава Компании в 1758 году в ее истории не мотивировано ничем; оно было мотивировано на 51 год раньше, в 1707 году, когда Ост-Индская компания (если верить официальной истории) объединилась со второй подобной компанией. И, тем не менее, удвоение директорского состава произошло именно в 1758 году.
ВЫВОД: реальная дата слияний двух разных компаний в Ост-индскую – 1758 год.

И поскольку теперь подлинной датой основания Honourable East India Company (Ост-Индской компании) теперь видится 1767 год, есть смысл поставить вместе целый ряд ключевых дат:
— 1758 – Ост-Индская компания объединилась с еще одной близкой по уровню компанией;
— 1765-й приблизительно год – вторая, основная дата похищения гарема Великого Могола «Джоном Эвери»;
— 1765 год – Ост-Индская Компания (Компания Бахадура) получила право собирать подати от имени Великого Могола;
— 1767 – Ост-Индская Компания получила название Honourable East India Company и взяла в долю английскую королевскую семью;
— 1769 год – в Индии в результате жесткого сбора податей страшный голод и миллионы смертей. В Бенгалии погибла треть всего населения.
ПОДВОДЯ НЕКОТОРЫЕ ИТОГИ
Я дам три весьма наглядные таблицы с номинальными и реальными датами географических открытий.
