Resource Group
The existence of
“Resource Groups” were of major advantage to the Marwari’s due to which
institutionalized hostels to accommodate migrants, credit facilities and forms
of commercial arbitration was made available.
—Presence of one big
firm owned by a communal fellow, as in the case of the Jagat Seth of Murshidabd attracted
immigrants. Surajmal Jhunjhunwala of Chirawa and Nathuram Saraf of Mandawa were
recruited by the Jagat Seth during their
tours in upper India. They spawned “Sub-Resource Groups” of Marwaris from Chirawa and Mandawa which
were important features of the Calcutta cloth market at the turn of the
century.
