| Research Abstract |
This study reconsidered the Marwari, one of the most successful business communities in India. Previous studies have discussed on the strength of Marwaris in Indian industry and explored the reason for their disproportionate success, but have not understood them in a historical context of the native towns from which they migrated. Based on the field works in towns of Shekhawati, politics of identity and representations of Marwairis are discussed in this study.
