This book discusses the role historical events played in
determining the pattern of growth of Indian manufacturing. Two
important historical events significantly influenced the course of
Indian manufacturing from the 15th century AD. The first was the
arrival of European merchants via sea route pioneered by
Vasco-da-Gamma in 1498 and the other was the dawn of the Mughal
Empire in 1526. The book explores how these two events provided the
appropriate stimulus for the emergence of traditional flexible
manufacturing in India and how they played a vital role in the
pattern of growth of the Indian manufacturing: The Mughal Empire
created an integrated economy of continental size whereas European
trading companies expanded the commercial connectivity of the
Indian economy and South East Asia. It further investigates how the
circumstances created by the colonial administration, factor
endowment and market conditions created the complex forms of
manufacturing enterprises that India inherited at the time of
independence. It is a valuable resource for students of history,
economic history, business history and the history of technology.
