Also included is a narration of the recommendations of important committees and commissions which influenced the course of Indian banking. Divided into four parts, the book uses hitherto unused archival material recently put in the public domain by the RBI, of particular interest is a discussion of the acrimonious relationship between Sir James grigg, the finance member of the viceroy s executive council and Sir Osborne Smith, the first governor of the RBI, which throws fresh light on a spat which remains unprecedented not only in the bank s history, but possibly in all of banking history.
