Includes bibliographical references

The voluminous appendix accompanying this book testifies to the rigor and depth of our research. From handwritten extracts to government memoranda, each document offers a glimpse into the tumultuous political landscape of colonial India and the pivotal role played by Chetty and the Madras Native Association.
Our research includes memorials in the form of petitions and memoranda presented by the chairman and president of the Madras Native Association, notably the one presented to the Governor of Madras following the massive historical agitation at Pachaiyappa Charities led by Gazulu Lakshminarasu Chetty. Noteworthy support for the native inhabitants of Madras, led by Chetty, came from Lord Sir Henry Chamiers, then chief secretary of the Madras Governor in council, and British Parliamentary Debates.
