DESCRIPTION:In South Asian historiography\, the period from 1780 to 1840 CE
  is identified as the era of transition to colonial rule under the English
  East India Company (EIC). Existing studies on this transition focus on th
 e territorial dimensions of colonial rule\, such as land revenue policies\
 , codification of laws\, administrative ideology\, and military campaigns 
 against Indian rulers and rival European trading companies. In the process
 \, however\, we have overlooked the maritime dimensions of transition to c
 olonial rule. This has limited our perspective on the changing characteris
 tics of intra-Asian trade between South India and Southeast Asia during th
 is period. \n\nThis paper focuses on a community of South Indian maritime 
 merchants and examines their participation in transregional trade between 
 South India and Penang in Southeast Asia within the context of the followi
 ng developments: the establishment of EIC entrepôts in Southeast Asia to 
 acquire products for the Company’s trade with China\, an evolving system
  of tariffs and port duties designed by the EIC to regulate trade\, and th
 e changing character of Europe-Asia trade due to the Industrial Revolution
 . Under these conditions\, the paper examines the carrying trade in Indian
  cotton textiles between South India and Southeast Asia by South Indian ma
 ritime merchants. The paper’s conclusions are drawn from shipping inform
 ation at Penang\, the applications for shipping passes\, the construction 
 of new ships and the purchase of second-hand vessels\, and by the applicat
 ions for the refund of a portion of port duties that were allowed for Indi
 an cotton goods.
