Hardcover. Zustand: New. The present work explores the historical origins and early development of Cananore and North Kerala region, till they were annexed by the British in 1792, when the said place became part of Madras Presidency under the British administration. It traces back its journey from the ancient Sangam age, independent Kingdom of Nannan to the rule of the Mushika dynasty during the medieval period, and it ends with the emergence of the Kolatiri dynasty that succeeded the Mushikas. This book places a particular emphasis on the Arakkal family, a branch that originated from the Kolatiris. The Arakkals controlled the large tracts of land including the Laccadive Islands. As Dutch expended its influence in Malabar, at the expense of the Portuguese, the Arakkals successfully asserted their independence in Malabar. The arrival of the Mysore Sultans helped the Arakkals to shake off the domination of the Kolatiris. However, the defeat of Tipu Sultan at the hands of the English East India Company in 1792, sealed the fate of the Arakkals, as well as the Kolatiris. The author has put to good use her knowledge of Malayalam, French, and English sources to reconstitute the history of Kannur and north Malabar until 1792.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book deals with the rise and decline of the Kingdom of Attingal and Travancore, and their interactions with the English East India Company's settlement situated at Anjengo in South Malabar. Based on unacquainted archival records and other sources discovered in India, England and France, including the famous historical grant accorded by the Queen of Attingal to the English in the year 1694 to fortify and settle in Anjengo, it highlights the great Attingal Revolt of the 14th April 1721. This revolt was caused when 150 English Officers of Anjengo Fort, who arrived at the Queen's palace to ceremoniously offer the yearly presents were brutally massacred by the disgruntled inhabitants of Attingal. This was the earliest revolt against the European colonizers recorded in the entire Indian history, which was far more deadlier than the Black hole tragedy of Calcutta. This work also challenges various theories and historical points advanced by Kerala historians such as Shungoony Menon, Sreedhara Menon, and Ibrahim Kunju. All the controversies related to Attingal Revolt was laid to rest by the author when she discovered the letter written by the Queen of Attingal to the officers of Fort Saint George giving details of the incident from Tamil Nadu Archives. This book also mentions that in the year 1704, a Ship Neptune commanded by Captain Leslie bound for Madras fully laden with 30 chests of silver, one chest of gold, precious treasures and valuable gifts were capsized at the Anjengo coast. Written with utmost care and clarity, this book is a must for every student and scholars specializing in Kerala and South Indian history. …
