March, 1933.,
he&rd this v;eeh that Mr Tickamdas of the
firm of Dhap>€fhinal Isardas, who recently proceeded hence to
India t in company with another Hindu
broker
Often a local commercial agent in the Gulf who regularly performed duties of intelligence gathering and political representation.
, possibly named
Valabji, was caught by the Customs at Karachi, where he was
found to be attempting to smuggle into India coin other than
the currency.
i am tola that this merchant was fined Rs:480/- for
the offence.
This story greatly surprises me, in view of his position
as the leading Hindu merchant in Bahrain, and also in Ihibai, and
his extensive transactions in pearls and banking, but it seems
to be fairly general knowledge here.
Bo you think it would be possible to obtain some
confirmation of the story ?
