Is India’s banking crisis the first of its kind in the country? How did banks flourish and fail a hundred years ago, and what can we learn from them?
Amol Agarwal gives us a magisterial tour of the rise of modern banking in India, all the way up to when India’s top banks were nationalized in 1969 and 1980.
