Mylapore clique

The Mylapore Clique (also termed an oligarchy, faction, group, set, and cabal), was a small group of politically moderate and elite Brahmins (primarily Tamil Brahmins), — many of whom were noted lawyers, administrators, academics or educators, and industrialists — in the Madras Presidency. The clique is considered to have "wielded almost exclusive influence and patronage in the service and government appointments", and "controlled the flow of resources out of the institutions of the capital", and "dominated the professional and political life of [the presidency]."
