About the Book

The Dutch connection with Malabar begins with the capture of Cochin from the Portuguese in 1668 to 1795 when the Dutch flag ceased to fly on the west coast. This period is of special interest because it witnessed the fall of the Nayar power. The Nayars were the feudal and military aristocrats of the west coast. Six appendices on alliances, agreements, chronology of chief events, list of appointments and Dutch tombs enrich the value of the book for students, researchers and for further in depth study on the subject of 17th and 18th century relation of Malabar with Europe.
