Tamil Nadu Government on Monday released a new book, Tamil Financial Management: Antiquity and Continuity, which delves into the evolution of financial practices among Tamils, tracing their history from the Sangam period to the present era.
The book, which was launched by the State Chief Minister M K Stalin, provides a comprehensive analysis of ancient trade networks, taxation systems, and fiscal policies that shaped Tamil society. It also examines financial management practices during the colonial era and the development of modern financial statements in Tamil Nadu. It also highlights the distinctiveness of Tamil culture in financial governance.
Rich history of the Tamils
“To showcase the rich history of the Tamils, this document compiles insights on ancient trade, financial policies, taxation methods, colonial-era financial management, and modern Tamil Nadu’s financial statements from past to present,” State Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu said in his tweet.
To compile this work, researchers have collected century-old financial records, government reports, planning committee documents, news articles, books, research papers, and photographs. These valuable resources have been made accessible through a dedicated website, helping scholars and researchers conduct sector-specific studies.
