India Company

Introduction and brief history

The Indian stock market today is actually comprised of two key entities and over 20 other exchanges. These 2 primary entities are the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the NSE or the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. There is an interesting past history regarding where the two markets originated from. During the 1850's, the first stock exchange in India was established when the East India Company created and developed a "community" of brokers.

By 1860, there were already 60 broker members of the exchange. As of 1874 and the results of a rapidly expanding share trading industry, these brokers gathered regularly (at a well-know location which is now known as Dalal Street) in order to conduct their business. Stockbrokers began gathering in front of Mumbai's Town Hall, conducting there meeting underneath Banyan trees, and the Indian stock market was born.

Although there are actually over 20 different stock exchanges in India today, but the two most powerful ones are the two mentioned above. The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited oftentimes referred to as the BSE, was originally established in 1875. Interestingly enough, it is the oldest stock market on the entire Asian continent that has been operating since the very beginning. Today there are over 4,700 companies listed on the BSE as well as over 7,700 stock exchange scripts.

The National Stock Exchange of India Limited, or NSE as it is called, is an Indian stock market based in the city of Mumbai and was originally established only 18 years ago in 1992. In that short period of time, it has grown to nearly 1,600 company listings and has a current market capitalization of 47,01,923 Rupees (Wikipedia). It was predicted that the NSE would be the largest stock exchange in India where market capitalization was considered when 2009 ended.

Up until the 1980's there was no way to measure or scale the ups and downs in stock values. However, in 1986, the BSE implemented SENSEX, which was a stock index. Three years later, India witnessed the launch of the BSE National Index. It was renamed the BSE-100 Index in October of 1996 because it was comprised of 100 different stocks listed with India's 5 major stock exchanges. These 5 major markets were Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Delhi, Madras, and Mumbai. Additionally, the dollar-linked version of the BSE-100 was launched in May of 2006.

Numerous banks, financial intermediaries, insurance companies, and leading financial institutions mutually own the NSE. However, the entities of management and ownership are completely separate entities. Interestingly enough, 2 of the NSE's foreign investors have taken a serious position in the NSE - Goldman Sachs and NYSE Euronext.

Differences between the BSE and the NSE

The key difference between the BSE and the NSE is that the former is not automated yet, although progress is being made to achieve full automation, whereas the latter is a fully automated exchange complete with the electronic processing of market orders. There are over 2,000 stocks now listed with the NSE while over 4,700 have been listed with the BSE.

Guardian of The East India Company $100 A biography of an almost of a seemingly forgotten yet singularly important eighteenth century figure, this book includes revealing insights into the business and political landscape of his day, and explores both his professional and personal life, essential for histories of Britain and the Empire. Laurence Sulivan embodied the East India Company. He lived at the Company's heart in the city of London and controlled a vast commercial and political empire during Britain's 'Commercial Revolution', in the late eighteenth century, and rise to superpower status and supremacy in India and South and Southeast Asia. He was 'kingmaker', politician, manipulator and negotiator, deeply involved in British and Indian affairs, friend and confident of Chatham, Clive, Burke and Pitt the Younger and - very importantly - protector of Warren Hastings. George K. McGilvary paints a vivid and convincing picture of a supremely influential and colourful business figure as he controlled the most powerful private company of his day - and at the centre of the eighteenth century public-private nexus in business and government.

Social Legislation of the East India Company $84.95 A hitherto unattempted survey of social legislation by the East India Company, this book identifies the principles of Public Justice and Public Instruction as the inspiration for legislative decisions, some of which resonate in post-colonial India. It dwells particularly on legislation which manipulated Muslim criminal law in order to protect, and in some instances, create, the rights of women, slaves, bonded labourers and victims of crime. It also examines the Company’s cautious venture into the realm of civil law affecting the ideals of religious toleration, remarriage of Hindu widows as well as inheritance and property law. Finally, it considers excise as a regulatory instrument in the Company’s administration of Pilgrim Taxes and Abkarry revenue from liquor and opium. The book traces the journey of the small group of merchants, who initially formed the East India Company, and while enviously guarding their sometimes piratical commercial interests, actually became a burgeoning nation state. It shows how...

This is an important new resource for research material on the history of British India and South Asia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Armies of the East India Company 1750-1850 $13.99 Contrary to popular belief, the capture of India was not accomplished by the British Army, but by the private armies of the East India Company, whose primary objective was the protection of their trading empire. Under the leadership of the legendary Robert Clive (founder of the East India Company) and Stringer Lawrence, this small force of mercenaries and adventurers grew in size and strength to eventually become an army larger than that of any European sovereign state. Highly disciplined and professional, it fought almost continuously for a century until the Great Mutiny of 1857 led to its disbandment and its troops passed into Crown service. One of the many British Army officers who fought with this force was Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington. This is the fascinating history of the East India Company army, examining the many conflicts in which they fought, and their equipment and training, with its regiments of horse, foot and guns, which rivalled those of most European powers. The exotic uniforms combining traditional Indian and British dress are illustrated in detail and make for a wonderfully colorful account of a private band of adventurers that successfully captured the jewel of the British Empire.

The Chaplains of the East India Company, 1601-1858 $120 The East India Company's merchants were called Adventurers because they ventured their money in the risky markets of the Spice Islands and the fabulously wealthy Mughal Empire. In another sense also, the Company’s entire 250 years were an adventure, exciting and dangerous, and creating over time, by violence and corruption, an empire. Contrary to the common view, the Company always claimed a Christian identity, hence the chaplains, on their voyages and in their trading 'factories' and garrisons, to guard the morals and morale of their operations. This the chaplains did with varying conviction and success. Forbear of the multinational of today, the Company continues to fascinate, attracting a vast amount of study worldwide as an economic and political phenomenon, an instrument of development, patron of art, and locus of attention in the new-imperial and postcolonial literature. Virtually unnoticed hitherto alongside the seafarers, merchant-adventurers, soldiers and imperialists, and their Indian collaborators, was a succession of educated, mostly young men with a tricky assignment and a distinct angle on all that took place: the chaplains.
