Produktbeschreibung

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. This volume contributes significantly to the study of merchant communities and colonial history in South Asia
