What it's about

The Nabobs of Madras by Henry Herbert Dodwell explores the lives, influence, and legacy of British East India Company officials—known as "nabobs"—who amassed wealth and power in 18th-century Madras (now Chennai). The book examines how these men shaped colonial administration, society, and trade while often blurring the lines between public duty and private gain. Dodwell presents a detailed historical account of their ambitions, extravagance, and the tensions they caused within British and Indian societies, offering insight into early British colonial rule in South India.
