This book offers a systematic analysis of the violent clashes
between the South Indian 'right' and 'left' hand caste divisions
that repeatedly rocked the European settlements on the Coromandel
Coast in the early colonial period. Whereas the Indian population
expected the colonial authorities to intervene in the disputes, the
Europeans were reluctant to get involved in conflicts which they
barely understood. In the nineteenth century the significance of
the divisions diminished, a development that has long puzzled
historians and anthropologists. In addition, this study addresses
the larger issue of the nature of colonial encounters. The rich
material relating to these disputes convincingly demonstrates how
Europeans and Indians, as they sought to incorporate each other
into their own social structure and conceptual universe,
participated in a dialogue on the nature of South Indian society.
