About The Book: The book contain the history of Kerala between 1498 and 1801 unfolds a dynamic tapestry of external influences and internal struggles. Beginning with Vasco Da Gama's arrival, the Portuguese era witnesses conflicts in Calicut, Cochin, and Quilon, leading to their decline. The Dutch era introduces wars with the Zamorin and internal shifts in Travancore, marking the eclipse of the Dutch influence.
