British men who were employed in the East India Company, who acquired great fortunes in India and returned to Britain, were known as 'nabobs'. 'Nabob' derived from the Urdu word 'nawab'. Nawabs were high officials or princes in the Mughal empire, the empire that the EIC replaced in India in the 1700s and 1800s. Those Company officials who managed to return with wealth led flashy lives and flaunted their riches. They were called “nabobs” – an anglicised version of the Indian word nawab. They were often seen as upstarts and social climbers in British society and were ridiculed or made fun of in plays and cartoons.
