The Marwaris: From Jagat Seth to the Birlas

By Thomas A Timberg

Book Overview

In the nineteenth century, a tiny community from the deserts of Rajasthan spread out to every corner of India. The Marwaris controlled much of the country's inland trade by the time of the First World War. They then turned their hand to industry and, by the 1970's, owned most of India's private industrial assets.
