Paperback. Zustand: Good. Written by well-known scholars, this book raises pertinent questions and takes up alternate perspectives on the growth and development of international trade between Europe and Asia, especially India, in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Through a comparative and comprehensive study of merchant communities, markets and commodities the individual authors argue, contrary to conventional views, that Asian merchants were in no way inferior to Europeans in terms of their commercial operations and business acumen. The book emphasizes the continuing and growing importance of India's overland trade, even in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, traces the little-known world of Armenian merchants, the hitherto obscure, but voluminous, Indian trade with the Ottoman Empire, and by unearthing new evidence, demonstrates that the export activity of Asian merchants through the overland route from Bengal was higher, in fact, than the combined total of European exports.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Since time immemorial Indian textiles, especially textiles from Bengal, were in great demand and exported to different parts of the world. Textiles from Bengal were appreciated by the Romans as early as first century ad. Numerous foreign travellers including Chinese, Portuguese, Arab and Persian, have mentioned the delicacy and beauty of Bengal textiles. From the mid-seventeenth century, there was a massive spurt in demand of cloth manufactured in Bengal, but after the British conquest of Bengal in 1757 this industry started to decline. This monograph traces the journey of Bengal textiles till its decline. Among the topics covered include accounts of the admiration for Bengal textiles from far and wide, the different types of textiles that were manufactured in Bengal, the major exporters, the major centres of production, the production system, the Dhaka muslin and the silk industry in Bengal, the procuring system that was adopted by the European / Asian merchants, the condition of the artisans who were the chief pillars of the textile industry and lastly the reasons behind the decline of the Bengal textile industry. This monograph is the first comprehensive volume on Bengal textile industry. It is the outcome of the author's four and a half decades of work on various aspects of Indian Ocean trade, the activities of the European companies and their impact on Indian / Bengal's economy. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. The essays in the volume deal with a potpourri of Indian history in the early modern era. They unfold many facets of the trade, politics and society of India and offer new perspectives which will help dispel some of the misconceptions prevailing for long. The first part of the book is concerned mainly with Bengal trade and commerce wherein after an extensive survey of the maritime trade in the Indian Ocean, the role of the Armenians as also their unique contribution in Dhaka's commercial and social life in the eighteenth century has been studied in depth for the first time. It also showcases how merchants were the conduit of close Indo-Persian relations in the early modern era. The essays take up issues like the role of hundis in the commercial life, and the problem of multiple currencies. Part 2 on Politics establishes beyond doubt that Plassey was not an Indian-born conspiracy, that without active British help and involvement, the conspiracy would not have matured enough to bring about the revolution. Again, the volume will establish that the Dharma Sabha of Calcutta had no role whatsoever in spreading the rumour of the greased cartridge, and that the Surat merchants could even dare fight the mighty Mughals quite successfully. Several essays deal with societal aspects like sati, portray the Murshidabad Begums in black and white, trace the evolution of a composite culture, examine the birth and expansion of Orientalism, explore how far poetical narratives reflect historical reality and finally, trace the rise and growth of the Calcutta High Court. All in all the volume will be an asset for historians and economists working in the field. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. This anthology vastly expands our understanding of the much-misconstructed history of early modern Bengal. The original forays in Bengal's economic history illuminate the state of prosperity in Bengal in the pre-colonial era. Together they seek to redress the misconception that economic decline in Bengal set in even before the British conquest of Bengal. Based on original sources in the European and Indian archives and libraries, most of the essays in the book underscores that Bengal had a prosperous economy even in the mid-eighteenth century. The period is extremely significant inasmuch as it witnessed the advent of the European trading companies and the vital role they played subsequently in the economy and politics of Bengal. The main thread that runs throughout this discourse is the state of Bengal's commercial economy during the pre-colonial era. In the process, a critical analysis has been made of the of the position of different industries like textile, silk, saltpeter and opium, etc. The essays here establish the fact that it was the Asian merchants, and not the Europeans, who were the major exporters and as such, it was the Asians, and not the Europeans, who were the major importers of bullion into Bengal during the period. Finally, the volume will emphasize, contrary to what was been held so far by most historians of the period, that there was no crisis either in Bengal politics or in Bengal economy even in the mid-eighteenth century. The book will be of immense importance to scholars and students of history and economics. (jacket). …

Numeration calcul comptabilite et commerce/Keram Kevonian. Postface. Index. The ability of the Armenian traders to measure the risks of long-distance trade and a readiness to vary the size of commercial transactions, their capacity to thrive on low profit margins and move into remote producing centres, appointing their own kith and kin or people of their own community as their agents were some of the important factors for their phenomenal success in overland trade from the sixteenth through the eighteenth century. The present volume showcases that the scale of what individual caravan could transport might produce reservations concerning grand affirmations, but the quick succession of such enterprises, the network they supplied and from which they drew their products put paid to such skepticism. This was especially true when this perspective was combined with the sure knowledge that those who organized enterprises held together both production and a solid link with maritime options. This comprehensive study on the role of Armenians in the long-distance trade in Asia will help refute afresh and convincingly among many others the canard that the Portuguese and not the Asians, were the dominant factor in the Indian ocean trade in the sixteenth century and that the advent of the Companies in the early seventeenth century sounded the death-knell of the traditional overland trade of the Asian merchants.
