University of Mannheim, Germany Nikolaus Wolf, Humboldt University, Germany Aims and Scope This series from Springer provides a platform for works in economic history that truly integrate economics and history Books on a wide range of related topics are welcomed and encouraged, including those in macro-economic history, financial history, labor history, industrial history, agricultural history, the history of institutions and organizations, spatial economic history, law and economic history, political economic history, historical demography, and environmental history Economic history studies have greatly developed over the past several decades through application of economics and econometrics Particularly in recent years, a variety of new economic theories and sophisticated econometric techniques— including game theory, spatial economics, and generalized method of moment (GMM)—have been introduced for the great benefit of economic historians and the research community At the same time, a good economic history study should contribute more than just an application of economics and econometrics to past data It raises novel research questions, proposes a new view of history, and/or provides rich documentation This series is intended to integrate data analysis, close examination of archival works, and application of theoretical frameworks to offer new insights and even provide opportunities to rethink theories The purview of this new Springer series is truly global, encompassing all nations and areas of the world as well as all eras from ancient times to the present The editorial board, who are internationally renowned leaders among economic historians, carefully evaluate and judge each manuscript, referring to reports from expert reviewers The series publishes contributions by university professors and others well established in the academic community, as well as work deemed to be of equivalent merit More information about this series at

Japan, India and the UK Among all these “creditors” who have, over the years, lent their expertise and guidance to sustaining and developing my work, my deepest debt is without a doubt to my graduate school academic advisors, Emeritus Professors Yonosuke Hara and Nariaki Nakazato at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Oriental Studies, both of whom have been to me much more than just teachers and supervisors as mentors and colleagues Professor Hara is a scholar who has always tried, mainly through personal example, to impart to his students the basic values of deep curiosity, creativity and the courage to take positions fearlessly and firmly against mainstream ideas and standard narratives Moreover, the advice he lent from the perspective of development economics was instrumental in helping me organize my arguments about the development of modern business enterprises It was Prof Nakazato who beginning in the late 1990s led me intrepidly into the genuine study of Indian history, taking time out from his own brilliant research to impart constant advice to what he probably considered just another floundering student of colonial India Both his intelligence and tolerance have constantly lighted the way for this long and winding journey on a quest to write something original and informative about the business and economic history of India under the Raj I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to Profs Yukio Ikemoto, the late Haruka Yanagisawa, Toru Yamamoto, Yukihiko Kiyokawa, Takashi Kurosaki and Keijiro Otsuka, who were always ready with constructive and perceptive comments concerning my ideas During my fulfilling life abroad studying in India for two years beginning in February 2000, Dr Sugata Mukherjee, my local academic advisor and former professor at the Centre for Study in Social Science, Calcutta, gave this rather lost and confused Japanese student, with no one else to turn to, such unselfish help and conscientious care, not only in the classroom, but more importantly in the rigours of surviving daily life in Calcutta, making my stay both a productive enterprise and a pleasant life experience My deep appreciation also goes out to Emeritus Professor Rajat K Ray of Presidency College and Emeritus Professor Benoy Chaudhuri of v vi Preface Calcutta University, who graciously shared their precious time with me, giving me both invaluable instruction and informative comments about my work I would like to thank once again everyone I was privileged to learn from and study with while in India I would also like to express my thanks to Emeritus Professor Brian Tomlinson and Professor Lawrence Sáez at University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies for allowing me the affiliation and credentials necessary at their institute, thus providing precious access to otherwise unreachable archival materials in the UK Without their generous support and understanding, some of the chapters of the present monograph could never have been completed Speaking of sources, most of the documentation used to prepare the present work is contained in the Tata Steel Archives located at Tata Steel’s Russi Mody Centre for Excellence in Jamshedpur and the Tata Central Archives in Pune, where I was a frequent visitor from early on when the idea of this study was still forming in my mind In Jamshedpur, I incurred a huge debt of gratitude to Mr Sanjay Singh, then director of Tata Steel’s Corporate Communications Department, and Messrs Viraf M Mehta and Rajiv Soni, divisional managers of the department, all of whom patiently allowed me to study the invaluable documents under their care for hours on end I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Russi Mody Centre’s faculty and library staff, who assisted in my daily work there, including Messrs H Raghunath, Farzan R Heerjee, Purnendu Bose, Manoj Kumar, Ahmad, Hossain, Bappa Mandal and Binoj Kumar While in Pune, I was extremely fortunate to have met the kind acquaintance of Messrs Rejendra Prasad Narla and Rajiv Adangale, without whose knowledge I could not have figured out the House of Tata’s capitalization strategy during the 1910s Besides the two Tata Archives, I had the opportunity to consult valuable archival materials at the British Library, the National Archives of India, the Maharashtra State Archives, the Centre of South Asian Studies Archives of University of Cambridge and University of Dundee Archive Service, all of whose staff I owe my deepest appreciation for their professionalism and consideration Parts of the present monograph have been previously published in academic journals and thus would like to thank the Indian Economic and Social History Review, Modern Asian Studies and International Journal of South Asian Studies for their kind understanding in allowing me to reprint portions of articles I published there.1 Nomura, C (2011) Selling steel in the 1920s: TISCO in a period of transition Indian
