India's Naval Traditions
Based on the Portuguese sources on the XVIth Century History of India and the anti-colonial struggles in Malabar led by the Zamorin and the House of Kunhali Marakkars. Their role in counteracting the Portuguese expansion deserves an indepth study and analysis. Although the present work is not a comprehensive one on the naval traditions of India, atleast it would help us promote the memory of a forgotten chapter in the History of Kerala and perpetuate the cause of national integration and communal harmony in this great country. The values cherished by the Kunhali Marakkars, to which they dedicated themselves and sacrificed their life, have a meaning for all time to come. This volume is an expression of that sentiment of Nationalism and memory of an epoch in the Asiatic History.

The Singapore and Melaka Straits
The Singapore and Melaka Straits are a place where regional and long-distance maritime trading networks converge, linking Europe, the Mediterranean, eastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent with key centres of trade in Thailand, Indochina, insular Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan. The first half of the 17th century brought heightened political, commercial and diplomatic activity to this region. It had long been clear to both the Portuguese and the Dutch that whoever controlled the waters off modern Singapore gained a firm grip on regional as well as long-distance intra-Asian trade. By the early 1600s Portuguese power and prestige were waning and the arrival of the Dutch East India Company constituted a major threat. Moreover, the rapid expansion and growing power of the Acehnese Empire, and rivalry between Johor and Aceh, was creating a new context for European trade in Asia.

The Portuguese and the Straits of Melaka, 1575-1619
Following the fall of the Melaka Sultanate to the Portuguese in 1511, the sultanates of Johor and Aceh emerged as major trading centers alongside Portuguese Melaka. Each power represented wider global interests. Aceh had links with Gujerat, the Ottoman Empire and the Levant. Johor was a center for Javanese merchants and others involved with the Eastern spice trade. Melaka was part of the Estado da India, Portugal's trading empire that extended from Japan to Mozambique. Throughout the sixteenth century, a peculiar balance among the three powers became an important character of the political and economical life in the Straits of Melaka. The arrival of the Dutch in the early seventeenth century...
