  Jamnalal Bajaj, Mahatma Gandhi, and the Struggle for Indian Independence

  Geoffrey Jones, Prabakar 'PK' Kothandaraman and Kerry Herman

  Describes the role of a leading Indian business leader in the campaign for independence before 1947 and his close relationship with the legendary Mahatma Gandhi. Provides the opportunity to consider the impact of colonialism on shaping Indian entrepreneurship and the role of the small Marwari group, originally from the Marwar region of Rajasthan, in creating many of India's leading business houses, including the Bajaj. The Bajaj, like other Marwari, were traders who after World War I transitioned into manufacturing, including sugar manufacturing and steel rolling.
