Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mercantile communities such as Marwaris and Chettiars are known for their success in colonial economy in British India. This study researched their residential mansions that were constructed between the 1830s-1930s in respective home villages. While the mansions were initially decorated with traditional materials and motifs, interwar period saw drastic changes in this trend. With the increase of anti-British movement, murals and tile decorations in those mansions were executed with made-in-Japan materials rather than British ones because the movement encouraged Indian people to protest British goods. Therefore, this study concludes that Indian nationalism was impacted by the consumption of Japanese goods by Indian people as shown in merchant houses.
