The legacy of the Jagat Seths, a significant banking family in Bengal in the eighteenth century, is examined in this episode. During a turbulent period in Indian history, they held a prestigious title—not a personal name—and had an impact on diplomacy, finance, and politics.
We talk about how they became wealthy, their complicated relationships with the British, French, and Nawabs, and why they are still mostly overlooked in popular history.
But why are they so nearly forgotten now? Were they shrewd businessmen, traitors, or victims of selective memory in history?
Come along as we reveal some of the lesser-known facts regarding the ascent and decline of the renowned Jagat Seth family.
