Abstract:
Dans la zone du golfe du Bengale, au sein de l’Empire Britanique, le secteur bancaire était caractérisé par une ligne de démarcation entre deux marchés distincts : un secteur bancaire européen impliqué dans le financement du commerce et un marché autochtone pour les prêts à court terme et le financement agricole. Dans ce monde, des communautés bancaires dotées de pratiques sophistiquées de contrôle interne et informel faisaient le lien entre ces marchés pour permettre la vaste expansion de la frontière des matières premières. L’une de ces communautés était les Nattukottai Chettiars de l’Inde du Sud, qui ont déployé un régime de supervision sophistiqué pour combler le déficit de confiance entre les banques européennes et les cultivateurs autochtones de riz et de caoutchouc en Birmanie coloniale, à Ceylan, en Malaisie et même en Indochine française au XIX e et au début du XX e siècle. L’éclatement de la crise de 1929 a provoqué une série de défauts sur les prêts et credits immobiliers parmi les producteurs de matières premières dans la baie du Bengale et a perturbé les flux de capitaux des Chettiar lorsque leurs prêts se sont transformés en biens immobiliers. Le contrecoup qui en a résulté a incité les États coloniaux à examiner de près les activités bancaires des Chettiars dans le cadre d’enquêtes bancaires à grande échelle en Inde, en Birmanie et à Ceylan, et à adopter des lois pour intervenir sur les marchés du crédit, mais sans grande efficacité. La tâche de réglementer la finance chettiar a donc incombé aux tribunaux et aux fonctionnaires de l’impôt sur le revenu. Cet article s’appuie sur les rapports d’enquête bancaire, les archives coloniales et les dossiers judiciaires, ainsi que sur l’abondante littérature consacrée à la finance chettiar (Weerasooriya 1973, Mahadevan 1978, Rudner 1994), pour étudier comment les pratiques de contrôle interne et informel ont été supplantées par la réglementation externe de l’État au lendemain de l’effondrement et alors que les entreprises chettiars cherchaient à tirer profit de la transposition (Birla 2008) de leurs pratiques commerciales dans le droit colonial des sociétés. Cet article appelle à accorder une plus grande attention à l’ancrage social de la supervision financière, en particulier dans le contexte colonial.

Abstract:
The notion of ‘banker's trust’ has a paradoxical quality, like ‘burning cold’ or ‘military intelligence.’ Common sense (another paradoxical notion) tells us that bankers have no trust. Perhaps this explains the appeal of Marxist and Weberian assumptions that capitalist economies tend to destroy pre-capitalist social formations based on trust. From the classic perspective, ‘primordial’ social ties mandate relations of trust (or something like them) in kin groups and castes only so long as the members of these groups do not operate directly—as bankers do—within a capitalist economic system.

Abstract:
AbstractsMost accounts of South Indian commerce in the seventeenth century depend on European documents and focus on Indo-European trade along the Malabar and Coromandel coasts. This article makes use of indigenous documents to analyze the way a caste of itinerant salt traders, the Nakarattars, combined worship and commerce in the interior of Tamil-speaking South India. It focuses on Nakarattar activities in the seventeenth century before they had achieved power under their better-known name, Nattukottai Chettiars, and at a time when their commercial expansion was just getting under way and when the close association of this expansion with rituals of religious gifting was already apparent. The two main purposes of the article are to illuminate the ritual dimension of commercial activity in precolonial South India and to enrich current transactional models of the relationship between temples and small groups in South India by incorporating a mercantile perspective.

Abstract:
This paper looks at the evolution of business practice of indigenous banking groups in colonial India. Specifically, it studies why in the early twentieth century, the Indian banking caste Nattukottai Chettiar moved from caste-based banking to joint stock banking. The paper argues that caste-based banking had two advantages over joint stock banking—caste-based monitoring of agents and reciprocity-based informal insurance within the caste. In the early twentieth century with the improvement of communication technology and expanding global trade, the caste banking lost both the edges. This prompted some of the caste bankers to move to joint stock banking. I provide a theoretical structure explaining the transition and provide evidence from archival and secondary sources in support of my theory.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores the repeated renovation of south Indian temples over the past millennium and the conception of the Tamil temple-city. Though the requirement for renovation is unremarkable, some “renovations” have involved the wholesale replacement of the central shrine, in theory the most sacred part of the temple. Rather than explaining such radical rebuilding as a consequence of fourteenth-century iconoclasm, temple renovation is considered in this article as an ongoing process. Several periods of architectural reconstruction from the tenth to the early twentieth centuries demonstrate the evolving relationship between building, design and sacred geography over one millennium of Tamil temple history. The conclusion explores the widespread temple “renovations” by the devout Nakarattar (Nattukottai Chettiar) community in the early twentieth century, and the consequent dismay of colonial archaeologists at the perceived destruction of South India's monumental heritage, in order to reassess the lives and meanings of Tamil sacred sites.

Abstract:
This research is based on a South Indian community, the Nagarathar Nattukottai Chettiars, an elite and wealthy merchant community traditionally comprised of businessmen and traders. My research seeks to investigate the acceptance of traditional arranged marriage practices by millennials of the Chettiar community currently residing in Malaysia. Marriage practices are slowly changing in most urban-dwelling communities in India to a more informal, love marriage system but the practices in the Chettiar community, both in India and abroad, are still similar to traditional practices of arranged marriage and have undergone minimal evolution. The Chettiars are a very forward-thinking community and have ventured into many top fields since their rise as a money lending community. Therefore, the practice of arranged marriage amongst the Chettiars is paradoxical as its community members are quite global and modern in thinking. Some of the research objectives include, the current expectations of millennials towards arranged marriage, its evolution, the engagement and opposition of millennials, factors such as family wealth, educational attainment, personality traits, physical appearance, status and social class on the selection of a mate at the time of marriage, the economics of marriage – the dowry system, the influence of social media in arranging a marriage and the competency of the system of arranged marriage as an integral part of the community’s trademark. Arranged marriage amongst the Chettiars is a very complex system and difficult to unpack for a non-Chettiar. I take on the lens of a young Chettiar, like myself, and interview young adults, older community members and parents of marriage age men and women to explore their perspectives on arranged marriage in this increasingly globalized world.
