The complex and hard-fought movement for political freedom in India
coincided with the rise of a wealthy capitalist class of Indian
industrialists who had profited under British rule. By 1947, these
prominent businessmen had forged a partnership with the
socialist-led Indian National Congress, and supported Jawaharlal
Nehru's implementation of a centrally-planned economy. In this
political history of modern India, David Lockwood traces the roots
of this capitalist class, concentrated in Bombay, Calcutta and the
west Bengal coal mining region, and examines British economic
policy in the nineteenth century. Indian capitalists, such as J.R.D
Tata of Tata Steel, established powerful relationships with
domestic governments throughout the period, holding indigenous
industrial conferences and supporting the swadeshi movement which
aimed to promote Indian-manufactured goods. The Indian Bourgeoisie
is a unique and important contribution to the lively debate on the
role of India's capitalists during the Raj and throughout the early
years of independence.
