SCRUTINIZING THE BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FRENCH ADVENTURERS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY INDIA
2014
Overview
The travellers who visited India in the eighteenth century looked hardly like tourists and were less romantic in the Colonial period and the majority left their homeland to seek a fortune that they believed easier to acquire in the Orient. Most of the Frenchmen had the conviction of the superiority of their own nation. They contributed or supported the project of the French commercial and political expansion in India. Although in the eighteenth century many Frenchmen such as Claude Martin and Antoine-Louis-Henry Polier worked also to serve the English but the majority of voyagers had patriotic affiliations towards their native country and the French East India Company.
