The Dutch in Malabar

By A. Galletti

Book Overview

The Dutch in Malabar is a comprehensive historical and archival study that chronicles the administration, trade strategies, and geopolitical impact of the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) along the southwestern coast of India, known as the Malabar Coast (modern-day Kerala). The work serves as a vital resource for understanding the complex transition of power in 17th and 18th-century South India, shifting from the Portuguese monopoly to the rise of Dutch commercial dominance, and eventually yielding to local powers and the British East India Company.
