Answer
British East India Company. It turns out, that India was never originally colonized by the British crown, but by a multinational company (MNC). Robert Clive, who won the Battle Of Palashi (‘Plassey’ for ‘Hey bear, ek gin and tonic idaar!’ folks), was an employee (‘Team Leader’ in 21st-century terms) of the world’s first public limited company. (Britons had equity stakes and to make favorable trading deals, the company ended up having an army.)That hired army ended up ousting the weak-by-then Mughals and accidentally ended up with a nation. Ours. Yes, a large company, so influential and powerful, that it made laws of another nation. The modern equivalent would be if, say, Coca-Cola removed the Chinese premier and started running it. It’s unheard of, mad. But that’s what happened, and that is how I am writing this column in English and you’re reading it in English, both parties pretending as we folks have always been English speakers and writers. All because a bunch of company middle management wanted to protect their investments and threaten some nabobs for their tea and silk and spice and opium trade. And the company’s armies also meted out their version of justice. This begs the question: can a company do that? Today, if you visit the dockland area of London from where the East India Company ships once sailed, hundreds a day to rule Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras, there’s a wildlife reserve, a jogging track, an indoor concert hall called the O2 Arena, a bunch of suburban high-rises that look a bit like Whitefield in Bengaluru, and an HSBC call center. Zero signs that it was once the epicenter of the imperial world, ruling 3/4th of the planet with trade.

Swahili culture is the product of the history of the coastal part of the African Great Lakes region.
By the 8th century, the Swahili people became involved in the Indian Ocean trade. As a consequence, they were influenced by the Arab, Persian, Indian and Chinese cultures.
As well as in the Swahili language, Swahili culture has a Bantu core and has also borrowed foreign influences. This Bantu expansion introduced the Bantu peoples in central, southern and southeastern Africa, regions of which they were previously absent. They gradually evolved to accommodate an increase in trade (mainly with Arab traders), population growth and even more centralized urbanization, developing what would later become known as the Swahili city-states.
As we can see Arab settlers particularly influential along the Swahili coast because they were the Bantu's major trading partner.
