I agree, considering that the Anglo-Mughal War was the first of the major conflicts fought between the British and English in India, and that James II sent heavy ships over in support, there should be some mention of the War and the East India Company's relations with the crown in general.

Legacy
I don't want to muck up a pretty well-run page but there ought to be a section on things named after the guy. Inter alia, per page 239 in
he was the namesake of James Island in the Galapagos Archipelago. It's officially
Santiago Island now but the English name still shows up a lot and was granted by a
pirate named Ambrosia. —

“Scottish Parliament”
Chapter 3.4: “On 11 April 1689, the Parliament of Scotland declared James to have forfeited the throne of Scotland as well.” If this sentence refers to the same event mentioned in the introduction of the article, the declaration was issued by the Convention, not exactly Parliament. Is that correct or was there a separate declaration by Parliament as well?—

James II of England → James VII and II – He was not only the king of England. He was also the king of Scotland and Ireland. James VII and II is both more accurate than the current title and also completely unambiguous, so you can get rid of the territorial designation that only refers to one of his realms, since there was only one James VII and II. The Scottish number should go first for consistency with
James VI and I.

Oppose and close per
WP:SNOW. Per
WP:NCROY, when there are multiple states we use the most commonly associated realm.

Oppose per
WP:COMMONNAME: unlike
his grandfather who is commonly known by both numerals due to his long reign over Scotland before the union of the crowns, the majority of reliable sources refer to this James by his English numeral only.

Comment - I can understand why you've nominated this page for renaming. All the monarch bios are extremely inconsistent in how they're named. The "Name # of country" style was disregarded, thus bringing about the inconsistencies.
