👉 Mandarindom is a term used in the context of the Indian subcontinent, specifically in the region known as Madras. It refers to the traditional and ancestral way of life of the people who lived there before European colonization. The term "mandarindom" was originally used by the British to describe the colonial rule that came to India from Southeast Asia, but it has since been adopted more broadly to refer to any form of communal living or community ownership in a particular area.
