The Aerial Photographs Shown In This Book Add A New Dimension To Our Viewing Pleasure- The Third Dimension. Most Of Us Have To Be Content With Two Dimensional Pictures Taken At The Ground Level. Twenty Six Main Forts Of Western India Have Been Selected, Taking Into Consideration Their Strength, Location And Their Place In History And Culture. They Have Been Arranged According To Their Location-Island Forts, Coastal Forts And Inland Forts, In Each Case Starting From The North And Proceeding South. The Photographs Show The Ruins Of The One Great And Formidable Forts. This Is Due To The Ravages Of Time As Well As The Policy Of The East India Company Which Supplanted The Marathas In 1818 As The Paramount Power In India. The New Masters Of India`S Destiny Destroyed Almost Every Single Fort In Western India As They Did Not Want To Leave Any Focal Point Where Freedom Would Flourish Again. Yet These Ruins Can Transport One To Those Days Gone By And Their Pristine Glory. One Only Needs A Feel For History And Some Imagination. The Forts Are An Integral And Important Part Of Medieval History And Their Ruins Are Our Priceless Heritage, To Be Preserved And Cherisged. However, There Are So Many Forts, Big And Small, That Physical Preservation Of All Of Them Will Be Well Nigh Impossible. But They Can Certainly Be Preserved In Print In A Kind Of A Gazetteer, Which Will Have All Available Information About Their History, Location, Layout, And Other Details. Photographs Form An Important Part Of This Process And This Volume Is A Small Step In That Direction. An Introduction Takes The Readers On A Short Journey To The Forts And The Climate Of History In Which They Functioned. Each Photograph Has A Brief Text Placed Opposite, Giving Some Details About The Fort. At The Same Time It Should Be Noted That A Photograph, However Good, Cannot Be A Substitute For A Visit To The Fort. And If A Traveller Chooses His Time And Route With Care, The Ruins Will Unfold, Vividly And Tantalisingly The Ambience Of The Fort And Those By-Gone Days.

The Portuguese presence on the Arabian Sea coast of the Deccan dates from the beginning of the 16th century, with the establishment of Goa as the capital of a rapidly expanding maritime enterprise that eventually encompassed much of Asia. In order to protect the ships carrying their goods, merchants, troops and missionaries to India, the Portuguese constructed a string of seaside strongholds in and around Goa, and further up the coast of what is now Maharashtra. 00This guidebook is the first to showcase the vestiges of the Portuguese sea forts of the Deccan, drawing attention to their surviving battlemented ramparts and angular bastions, watchtowers and lighthouses, chapels and churches. While some forts have recently been restored, such as Reis Magos and Tiracol in Goa, others are now dilapidated and overgrown. 00This guidebook contains descriptions of all the major Portuguese sea forts of the region, illustrated with newly commissioned photographs and site maps.

Current concerns in maritime Eurasia are centered on rising powers China and India. By way of background to understanding the current regional great power rivalry within maritime Eurasia, this book asks what we can learn from historic Eurasian maritime geopolitical players and their interactions that will inform and enlighten today’s international relations practitioners. Great Power Clashes along the Maritime Silk Road examines three seminal historical cases of maritime clashes in the China Seas, four in the Indian Ocean, and one in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Each of these is an example of local or regional conflict reflecting the circumstances of time and place. The cases have been chosen to provide a comparative framework of significant premodern maritime clashes distributed along the full Eurasian maritime perimeter. Lessons include understanding struggles between continental and maritime powers in Eurasia, and understanding the decisive impact that naval leadership, intelligence, technology, alliances, and identity have had in the past and will have on the future.
