The Jain community in India, though small in number, is very
important in the economic and social life of the country. Jain
history becomes more important when we find that the community
anticipated new commercial practices adopted by European trading
countries from the sixteenth century onwards. Two Jain names stand
out in history; they are Veerji Vora, in the seventeenth century
and Jagat Seth of Bengal in the eighteenth century. A succession of
Jagat Seths interacted with high government officials and were very
influential in their time as this volume brings out.This volume
contributes significantly to the study of merchant communities and
colonial history in South Asia. Please note: Taylor & Francis
does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal,
Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
