Description

This scholarly work provides a systematic examination of the violent conflicts between South Indian right and left hand caste divisions that repeatedly disrupted European settlements on the Coromandel Coast during the early colonial period. The book explores the fundamental disconnect between Indian populations who expected colonial authorities to intervene in these disputes and Europeans who were reluctant to engage with conflicts they poorly understood. It traces how the significance of these caste divisions diminished over the nineteenth century, addressing a historical puzzle that has long perplexed scholars. Published by Routledge as part of the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies series, this volume contributes to broader understandings of colonial encounters, caste systems, and the complex interactions between indigenous social structures and European colonial administration in South Asia during this transformative era.
