India’s Historical Luxury Fables

Soumya Jain

Chapter 2 in The Luxury Market in India, 2012, pp 14-25 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract India’s luxury story has no beginning. There is no specific time to indicate the commencement of indulgence in luxury in India. It is a continuous fable which has barely been chronicled. In fact the seeds of historical luxury consumption have perhaps germinated into a full-fledged contemporary luxury buying pattern. The example of the celebrated and much famous Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala alludes to this behaviour.
