Description

The Dutch presence in India is all but a forgotten memory with little to remind us that the once mighty Veringde Oostindische Companie (VOC, the United Dutch East India Company), was a major presence in India for almost two centuries, and indeed, the most powerful European power in the region for over half that period. This volume is the first to examine the fluctuating fortunes of this once great company over its entire history from 1600 to 1795, integrating political economy with social history to provide a multi-faceted panorama of the VOC's operations in India.
