Description

This scholarly study examines the French colonization of Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu and South India during the eighteenth century, exploring the complex interactions between French governors and Indian rulers across political, economic, social and religious domains. From Francois Martin's arrival in 1674 through Dupleix's tenure, the French never pursued territorial conquest or grand imperial ambitions in India. Instead, French administrators based in Pondicherry engaged strategically with local Indian rulers who found mutual benefit in these relationships. The work reveals how pragmatic diplomacy, rather than military expansion, defined Franco-Indian relations during this transformative period. Published by Routledge, this comprehensive analysis challenges conventional narratives about European colonization in South Asia and provides essential historical context for understanding the region's eighteenth-century political landscape.
