Opis

Historical interest in the interaction between political developments and business in India is of recent origin. The result is that we have very limited number of studies dealing with the subject and perhaps none with a comp­rehensive historical focus. The present work, therefore, is a contribution towards comprehending a vital but neglected area of historical enquiry. Covering the period from the Great Moghuls until after Independence, the Business and Politics in India provides an insight into both continuity and change in the attitude of business towards political twists and turns, and how?these?influenced?the?Indian?business?and?vice?versa.

Based on solid historical data and marked by rigorous analysis, the volume is a product of joint endeavour of some of the most outstanding scholars in the field. It offers a rewarding reading for all those who wish to understand the process through which the Indian business class and groups adjusted themselves to the changing political scenario in the country?in?the?eighteenth-twentieth?centuries.
