  • Chapter 22 Shipping

    Chapter 22 Shipping

    CHAPTER 22 SHIPPING India’s involvement in trade and commerce since time immemorial is the fundamental governing fact under Indian maritime history. Indian maritime history comprises the extensive dealings with foreign places. South India was along the trade routes for the export of spices like cinnamon and cassia which originated from China and South East Asia. During the Sultante period, everyday usable articles as well as luxury articles were exported to Syria, Arabia and Persia from Bengal and Cambay.East Africa, Malaya, China and the fareast were other places where things were exported. Most Indian Ocean states have continued to export raw materials and import manufactured goods produced elsewhere. Over the years Shipping in Indian Ocean has changed from dhows, dry-cargo carriers to containers. The importance of shipping, over the period, has also increased due to the technological developments in transport, especially in terms of containerization culminating in multimodal transportation on door-to-door basis, since majority of the containers move by this mode of transport. The shipping services in India are also patterned similar to the global shipping services, namely, tramps and liners. The types of ships engaged in India’s overseas trade include dry cargo liners, cellular container ships, dry cargo bulk carriers, ore/oil/bulk carriers, oil tankers (product carriers), passenger cum-cargo vessels, acid carriers, timer carriers, LPG carriers, etc. The shipping industry also caters to the requirements of coastal trade and offshore supply vessels (OSVs) for ONGC and GAIL. The Shipping Statistics in foreign trade relate to number and tonnage of vessels which entered and cleared with cargoes classified by custom zones, nationalities and port of call.

Ashfaque AbstractAbstractAbstract The author proceeds from the personal narrative of his first visit to the Northern Areas in November 1979 on a somewhat urgent and confidential assignment of the Ministry of Culture, which he completed with a remarkable precision. His technical report now buried in official files is lost virtually, but his present memoirs on such obscure aspects of ancient history as the trade in the herb of Soma juice, sacred to and valued by the early Aryans, and its elimination, possibly during the Achaemenian social reforms, and its replacement by the commerce in salajeet in the area, are interesting aspects on which the conventional books of history remain silent. The author draws attention to another aspect of social reforms, probably achieved during the Sasanian times, as suggested by his critical appreciation of a beautiful local folk-lore. This relates to the elimination of the probable practice of marriages among sibling pairs, as part of the primitive institutions prevailing in the backward communities of isolated valleys of the high mountains. Speaking of the petroglyphs, he augments his keen scientific observations on natural causes of stone coloration, with studied results of the field surveys of the Pak-German Study Group. At places, the author touches upon the vast subject of the indications of the Pleistocene glaciations in parts of the upper Indus Valley, which in itself is a virgin field for research by students of the Earth Sciences in Pakistani Universities.
  • Oral Testimony As Historical Source Material for the Reconstruction of the Judicial History of Shipping in India (1600–1800)

    Oral Testimony As Historical Source Material for the Reconstruction of the Judicial History of Shipping in India (1600–1800)

    Article Oral Testimony as Historical Source Material for the Reconstruction of the Judicial History of Shipping in India (1600–1800) Mir Kamruzzman Chowdhary University of Hyderabad, India http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7092-2666 [email protected] Abstract This study was an attempt to understand how the available alternative source materials, such as oral testimonies can serve as valuable assets to unveiling certain aspects of maritime history in India. A number of themes in maritime history in India failed to get the attention of the generation of historians, because of the paucity of written documents. Unlike in Europe, the penning down of shipping activities was not a concern for the authorities at the port in India. The pamphlets and newsletters declared the scheduled departure of the ship in Europe but, in India, this was done verbally. Therefore, maritime history in India remained marginalised. Hence, in this article, I make an endeavour to perceive how the oral testimonies can help shed some new light on certain aspects of maritime history in India, such as life on the ship, maritime practices, and perceptions among the littoral people in coastal societies. This article also outlines an approach on how the broader question on the transformation of scattered maritime practices among coastal societies can be adapted and transferred into an organised institution of law by the nineteenth century, and how these can be pursued in future. I also suggest in this article that the role of Europeans, especially the British, in the process of transformation, can be investigated further through oral testimonies in corroboration with the colonial archival records.
