On June 19, 2020, Jayaraj was in the mobile phone showroom of his son Benicks. Personnel from the Sathankulam police station were on patrol duty in the evening. The police picked him up for allegedly keeping the shop open in the evening in violation of lockdown restrictions. The police reportedly verbally abused Jayaraj and assaulted him. His son Benicks, who came to the spot, appealed to the police to release his father. When the police allegedly assaulted Jayaraj with a baton and roughed him up, Benicks tried to save his father. After thrashing the father and the son, the officers took them to the police station. The father and the son were arrested for allegedly keeping their outlets open after permitted hours.

  • Tuticorin Port Development Under Railways
    Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 TUTICORIN PORT DEVELOPMENT UNDER RAILWAYS Dr.K.Marimuthu Guest Lecturer Department of History Bharathidasan University Tiruchirappalli-24, Tamil Nadu, India [email protected] Abstract The Port of Tuticorin is important as it forms the Southernmost Port on the east coast and has the largest trade in South India. In his enumeration of ports on the east coast of India. The first railway line, on South Indian Railway from Madurai to Thoothukudi was opened on 1st January 1876, to a distance of 157.9 Km. and from Thoothukudi to Foreshore (0.65 Km.) on 7th August 1899. The section of railway line from Maniyachi to Tirunelveli (28 km) was opened on 1st January, 1876. Keywords— Tuticorin, Port, Hinterland, Industry, Railways I INTRODUCTION Thoothukudi formed a part of Pandyan Kingdom from the 7th century and the Chola Kingdom from the 9th to 12th Centuries. There is a little doubt that the Chola invasion of Ceylon was launched from Thoothukudi, the base closest to Sri Lanka (llangai). The obvious advantage of a well guarded and convenient roadstead where sailing vessels and ships can anchor and were silting poses no problem throughout Thoothukudi to the forefront as a Port. Lured by the wealth of Tamil Nadu, travellers, adventurers and colonisers locked the East Coast. The Portuguese who first came in 1 532 were engaged in spreading Christianity along the fishing coast apart from trade activities. In 1542 St.Francis Xavier landed in Thoothukudi. The flourishing trade of Portuguese in Thoothukudi attracted the Dutch who had by then occupied Sri Lanka and took over Thoothukudi in 1658.

DECKLA (Reg. No. 1090) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY MANONMANIAM SUNDARANAR UNIVERSITY TIRUNELVELI OCTOBER 2004 13 INDEX INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY 14 INTRODUCTION Different concepts have been employed by historians in different times to have a comprehensive view of the past. We are familiar with political history, social history, economic history and administrative history. Maritime history is yet another concept, which has been gaining momentum and currency these days. It (maritime history) has become a tool in the hands of several Indian historians who are interested in Indo- Portuguese history. The study of maritime history enables these researchers to come closer to the crucial dynamics of historical process. Maritime history embraces many aspects of history, such as international politics, navigation, oceanic currents, maritime transportation, coastal society, development of ports and port-towns, sea-borne trade and commerce, port-hinterland relations and so on1. As far as India and the Indian Ocean regions are concerned, maritime studies have a great relevance in the exchange of culture, establishment of political power, the dynamics of society, trade and commerce and religion of these areas. The Indian Ocean served not only as a conduit for conducting trade and commerce, but also served and still serves, as an important means of communication. The Indians have carried commodities to several Asian and African countries even before the arrival of the Europeans from India.
