East Indian.

Brit.

/ˈiːst ˈɪndɪə/, U.S.

/ˈist ˈɪndiə/

Forms: see east adv., adj., and n.¹ and India n.; also 1600s East Indya.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name East India.

Etymology: < East India, as formerly used as a geographical term (see below) < east adj. + the name of India (see India n.). Compare East Indies n., East Indian adj., West India n. See also discussion at India n.Use of East India as a geographical term with broad denotation (originally as distinguished from the West India of the Caribbean) is particularly associated with the period of European colonization; although often used interchangeably with East Indies to refer to the whole of South-East Asia including the Malay Archipelago, it was also frequently used with reference specifically to the geographical area of modern India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. For examples compare:1553 R. Eden in tr. S. Münster Treat. Newe India Pref. sig. Aii Magellanus,..from Spayne sayled Westward to the Ilandes of Molucca being in the East sea, farre beyond ye furthest partes of East India.1555 R. Eden tr.

Weyler Intricate Relations iii. 111 The Jay Treaty guaranteed reception of American ships in important British ports throughout the trade routes to East India and China.(Quot. 1857 is from a summary of contemporary Russian journalism; quot. 1979 is from a translation of a 17th-cent. Spanish work.) In later use sometimes difficult to distinguish from East India used simply with reference to the eastern part of India (in modern use normally as the name of a region comprising the states of West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Orissa).

a. East India Company n. a company formed to conduct trade with India and South-East Asia; spec. the English trading company incorporated in 1600; similarly the Dutch East India Company, incorporated in 1602.

For further information on the Company see, for example, P. Lawson The East India Company: a history (1998).
