The Mylapore Clique (also termed an oligarchy,[1] faction,[2][3] group,[4] set,[3] and cabal[5]), was a small group[6] of politically moderate and elite Brahmins (primarily Tamil Brahmins),[6] — many of which were noted lawyers, administrators, academics or educators, and industrialists[7] — in the Madras Presidency. The clique is considered to have "wielded almost exclusive influence and patronage in the service and government appointments",[6] and "controlled the flow of resources out of the institutions of the capital",[8] and "dominated the professional and political life of [the presidency]."[9]
