She is finding it ‘impossible to arouse any interest in it in England’. She has ‘told the Secretary in London to forward anything of interest’ to her and will write if she has ‘any thing special to point out’ to her.

a104034Collection 75 original photographs 47 mounted in an album and all views identified plus 29 more unmounted and unidentified photographs laid in. All photos are small most 1-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches. All photos are of Ladakh many of Leh and Kargil two major cities in this Himalayan kingdom. One photo has date of 1921 so we assume all were taken around that time or at least in the early 1920s. Many of the unmounted photos are a bit too small and too dark to show much detail. Some of the identifications are written in ink and are easy to read but many are written in pencil and have faded making them harder to read. The album is quite worn but still intact and only 7 pages of the album have photos mounted - most of the leaves of the album are empty. Quite unusual. . unknown

1943010675Kyaiklat Burma British India 1943. Handwritten. Very Good. Loose Leaf. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Correspondence from Chettiar in Tamil from IIL in English. 9 letters from Chettiar and IIL in manuscript and typescript; 10 pieces of correspondence from IIL on note cards with IIL letterhead; 1 IIL membership card for Chettiar. CONDITION: Overall Very Good old folds some splitting and tape repairs along folds of documents by IIL but Chettiar's letters largely free of wear or tear text legible throughout. All documents now housed in sleeves that are mounted onto backing but it remains easy to remove documents from enclosures. This collection contains English translations of Chettiar's letters presumably made by the previous owner who also wrote captions describing each piece of correspondence on their respective mounts. An evocative collection of correspondence document- ing an Indian nationalist organization's coercion of funds from a member of a prominent money-lending Burmese-Tamil family. These letters show the Indian Independence League's attempt to extort money from a wealthy man whom they had identified as being in a position to help "free India from bondage and for the maintenance of the Indian National Army." This was M.S.M. Somasundarum Chettiar a 63-year-old merchant who operated his business on Strand Road in Kyaiklat a town in the Pyapon District of Burma. A recent historical study by Suppiah and Raja on the Chettiar families of Burma suggests that Somasundaram was part of a "distinguished ethnic group comprising the business class among Malaysian Indian-Tamils" who made their fortunes by lending money to the Indian working class in Burma. The Chettiar ethnic group boasted "a centuries long tradition as an indigenous banking caste in South India" and thus due to a combination of "stringent business regulations during British colonialism in the Madras Presidency and economic opportunities in the newly opened British colonies in Southeast Asia" both the Indian working class in Burma and members of the Straits Settlement Chinese utilized "Chettiar agents in order to conduct bank transactions.in the middle of the nineteenth century." This reliance upon the Chettiar's services only increased by the turn of the twen- tieth century as the demand rose for rubber and tin made in Southeast Asia. As "local Chinese and Malays with only small and medium capital sources relied on loans from Chettiar agents to develop land plant rubber and open mines.Chettiar agents" became "known as the leading moneylenders" in late-colonial Burma. Somasundaram would thus have been part of a known community of capitalists "who accumulated capital for further expansion of their activities at the expense of the Indian working class." The Indian Independence League and the Indian National Army were closely intertwined movements during WWII both led by Subhas Chandra Bose and governed by the Azad Hind Provisional Government in Exile.They worked to unite the Indian diaspora in Southeast Asia to support the cause of independence and sought military support from Japan to facilitate an armed wing for their movement. Primary source documentation of the Azad Hind government's activities is scant institutionally. We locate a scrapbook created by a member of the Indian National Army held at the Institute of Social Research in the Netherlands and a letter from Subhas Chandra Bose asking for a loan from the Hikari Kikan of Syonan held by the National Library Board of Singapore. This would be the only comparable collection held in North America.A rich collection of correspondence highlighting the conflicting poles between Indian diasporic wealth and Indian nationalists' aspirations for the nation's self-rule listing credit Pico Banerjee Peek A Boo Rare Books & Ephemera . unknown
