Trade and Finance in Portuguese India by Celsa Pinto marks a sharp departure from the predominant Eurocentric emphasis in Indo-Portuguese studies, on the sixteenth century Portuguese trade in the Carreira da India. Such an approach unjustly dismisses the subsequent centuries as periods of no commercial consequence to the Estado da India and Portugal and relegates to an unimportant level the significance of the privately-operated intra-Asian trade. The evidence gathered and the argument of this book challenges such prevailing stereotypes.
Based on a wide range of archival sources in India, Portugal and England, this study unravels the existence of a thriving native-operated country trade, in “the splendid” and “the trifling” that emanated from Portuguese India in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It not only took advantage of the vulnerability displayed and the animation efforts undertaken by the Estado da India and the metropolis but also learned to function through “crevices” under the growing British hegemony.
