Volume : I, Issue : IX, October - 2011 Growth of Foreign Trade in madras presidencey (1858 – 1914)  G. RANGARAJAN DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Trade and commerce commenced when man depended on others in
economic matters. It is the earliest economic transaction of human beings, who
carried it out by means of barter system till the invention of coins or currency as
the medium of transaction. India had commercial relations with other Asian and
European countries during the ancient time onwards. The Sangam literature
furnishes mine of information about the existence of external commerce with
Yavanas. Roman coins found in the Tamil coast proved that Tamil country had
maritime relations with European countries and it continued during the modern
period. The sources available on the growth of foreign trade throw light at all India
level and the sources connected with the Tamils alone are scarce. Thus, I have
made an attempt is to study the growth of foreign trade covering the entire regions
of India. However, attempts are made to specify the growth of foreign trade of the
Tamils wherever it is possible. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : G. RANGARAJAN, (2011). Growth of Foreign Trade in madras presidencey (1858 – 1914) .
