This book focuses on Hundis, which were a form of scrip used in India for quite a long time, used in princelystates of India.

One early seventeenth-century French traveler to India, Mr. J. B. Tavernier, writes:

While collecting and researching Hundis, it becomes very clear that Indian bankers were using a variety ofinnovative financial and credit instruments to facilitate trade and the movement of large sums of moneyacross the subcontinent in a most secure and efficient manner, hundreds of years before the Western bankingsystem.

Because of their flexibility, their extensive use, and the variety of Indian languages that were used to draftthese Hundis, they have been little understood and always very confusing to the outside world.

In this book, I have tried to compile all the details about Hundis used in princely states of India in one place.

This was quite a challenge, as more than a century has gone by without producing much written informationabout Hundis. For detailed information about Hundis, refer to .
