This book explores the intricate socio-economic and political processes that have shaped the coastal regions of India over centuries. By focusing on the vast littoral zones, the author highlights how these areas, connected by the Indian Ocean, have developed a unique identity as Maritime India. The book discusses the evolution of the Indian Ocean circuits, emphasizing how the continuous exchange and interactions with the oceanic world have fostered a distinctive maritime consciousness.
The author delves into the dynamics of trade, culture, and political influence, examining how the coastlines of India became a hub for global exchanges.
