| Research Abstract |
Cheshire salt, which was imported from Britain, had become dominant in the Eastern Indian market by the mid-nineteenth century. This project explored that this transformation in the market was brought about not only by the British East India Company's salt monopoly and the strong pressure from British industrial and shipping interests, but also by severe competition among different varieties of salt, which was generated by indigenous economic, cultural and ecological factors, including mercantile activities, consumers' taste, and the availability of fuel.
