Description
This brief survey of the activities of the French East India Company in India, based principally on the unpublished factory records of the French archives, deals with their problems, their linkages with the mercantile groups and their relation with the local rulers. Starting with their arrival in Surat in 1666, this study closes with the occupation of Delhi by Nadir Shah in 1739.
