About The Book: 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.
