Ritual and legal practices, religious concepts, artistic motifs, and forms of material culture, economic and other quotidian exchanges, and of course polemical treatises, exegesis, and literary representations have all captured researchers’ attention (Baumgarten, Karras, and Medler 2017; Secunda 2013; Bonfil, Irshai, and Talgam 2012; Simonsohn 2011; Shalev- Eyni 2010; Gaudette 2010; Holo 2009; Kogman-Appel and Meyer 2008; Cuffel 2007; Becker and Reed 2007; Meri 2002). With regard to the pre-modern Islamic world, scholars have regularly noted the parallel experiences and status of Jews and Christians under Islamic rule, as well as shared cultural practices between Muslims and dhimmi communities (Russ-Fishbane 2015; Safran 2011; Mayeur-Jaouen 2005; Meri 1999; Fenton 1995, 1997, 2000; Cohen 1994).

    Chapter 1: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Trichur is the Head Quarters of the District Trichur, o of the Kerala State. It lies in 10 32' north latitude and o - i 76 15' east longitude. Trichur is the anglicised form of Trisur, a corrupted form of Trisivaperur, proclaiming the association of god Siva, the presiding defty of Vatakkunathan temple complex. Since the history of this temple complex is closely connected with the town of Trichur and the District, an attempt is made to outline the history of the district, highlighting only those incidents which are connected with the progress or otherwise of this temple. As the territories of modern Trichur district formed part of the ancient Chera empire, the history has to be traced from the ancient period. But since the temple has association only with the Second Cheras, it is proposed to begin with them. The ancient or the first Cheras ruled over the land of Kerala, then known as Cheranadu. 2 Their rule came to an end by about 233 A.D. The next centuries have been characterised by trials and tribulations, consequent upon the invasion of the whole of South India by 3 the Kalabhras and their sway was perhaps at its height 1.

Literary as well as epigraphical records of the later periods show that during the fifth and the sixth centuries, the Kalabhras had ravaged the established order and, therefore, the history of Kerala upto 800 A.D., is not clear.

  • Medieval Trade, Markets and Modes of Exchange
    CHAPTER IV MEDIEVAL TRADE, MARKETS AND MODES OF EXCHANGE This chapter focuses on the trading activities of major trade centers, markets and their transactions, system of exchange, major trade routes and its developments, internal and external trade, overseas trade up to the end of the sixteenth century, urbanization of trading centers, trade guilds, organizational aspects of trade and administered trade etc. The advent of the Portuguese in 1498 opened the doors of a new era in the history and socio-economic and political life of India, especially of Kerala. Kerala witnessed a new experience of maritime trade quite different from that we experienced since the dawn of the first century AD. Its resultant impact on society, economy and the cultural diasporas also form a part of the study. The long-prevailing notion that medieval Malabar was a closed economy is subjected to an analysis. The Malabar economy which was confined to an agrarian and subsistence-oriented, economy positively responded to economic activities and daily markets consequent on the production of surplus, and began to play a predominant role in overseas trade and world economy due to the spice trade. Agricultural growth in the hinterland, the availability of surplus, the amount of importance given to the commerce and overseas trade in the development of commodity production and exchange in the hinterland are certain necessary pre-conditions to urban growth. 1 Due to the availability of ample surplus in agricultural production active rural markets and trade centers developed in medieval Kerala. The process of urbanisation was gradually taking place in major trade centers and market places.

    DEPARTMNET OF HISTORY I M A HISTORY VI SEMESTER HISTORY OF KONGU NADU UPTO 1800 A.D (18MHI24C) DR.SEETHALAKSHMI, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY- GAC (AUTO)- 18 Cell: 9487087335 [email protected] Unit II Western Ganga was an important ruling dynasty of ancient Karnataka in India which lasted from about 350 to 1000 CE. They are known as "Western Gangas" to distinguish them from the Eastern Gangas who in later centuries ruled over Kalinga (modern Odisha). The general belief is that the Western Gangas began their rule during a time when multiple native clans asserted their freedom due to the weakening of the Pallava empire in South India, a geo-political event sometimes attributed to the southern conquests of Samudra Gupta. The Western Ganga sovereignty lasted from about 350 to 550 CE, initially ruling from Kolar and later, moving their capital to Talakadu on the banks of the Kaveri River in modern Mysore district. After the rise of the imperial Chalukyas of Badami, the Gangas accepted Chalukya overlordship and fought for the cause of their overlords against the Pallavas of Kanchi. The Chalukyas were replaced by the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta in 753 CE as the dominant power in the Deccan. After a century of struggle for autonomy, the Western Gangas finally accepted Rashtrakuta overlordship and successfully fought alongside them against their foes, the Chola Dynasty of Tanjavur. In the late 10th century, north of Tungabhadra river, the Rashtrakutas were replaced by the emerging Western Chalukya Empire and the Chola Dynasty saw renewed power south of the Kaveri river. The defeat of the Western Gangas by Cholas around 1000 resulted in the end of the Ganga influence over the region.

A common features of the sewn boats of the Indian Ocean, for example was the use of coir-rope for stitching. Because coconut palm plantation were restricted to certain parts of the Indian Ocean littoral, coir-rope would have been one of the commodities in demands in the boatbuilding settlement of the coast147.

    Archaeological, Literary and Ethnographic Evidence for Traditional Boat-building in Kerala, South India Veerasamy Selvakumar1 Abstract Kerala possesses rich maritime traditions dating back to the Early Historic period. A few types of traditional watercrafts developed indigenously and some are influenced by external contacts. Archaeological excavations revealed a medieval sailboat at Kadakkarappally in 2003 and an Early Historic canoe at Pattanam in 2007. The Early Historic Sangam Tamil texts refer to the watercrafts of Kerala. Traditional boat-building still survives in Kerala. This paper presents the evidence for traditional boats in Kerala, their historical context and the possible external influences, until the 15th century Common Era2 (CE). I. Introduction Kerala's strategic location connects the eastern and western worlds in the Indian Ocean region Kerala‟s internal processes and external influences have caused the development of a vibrant maritime culture, including interesting watercraft types, than any other region in India. This paper presents a survey of traditional boat-building in Kerala, its historical context and the possible external influences, until the 15th century CE. With the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west, Kerala (Lat. 8◦ 15' and 12◦ 50' E; Long. 74◦ 50' and 77◦ 30' N, Figure 1A) is enriched by the monsoons, 44 perennial rivers, 15 backwaters and a 600 km coast. The average temperature is between 20◦ and 32◦ C, and the annual rainfall varies from 1800 to 3600 millimeters (mm). Kerala has rich wood sources suitable for boat-building. Previous Research Experiments undertaken in methods of navigation to survive in the water-filled landscape led to the development of indigenous watercrafts, some of which still survive.

  • Antiquity of Christianity in India with Special Reference to South Central Kerala
    Antiquity of Christianity in India with Special Reference to South Central Kerala Cyriac Jose1 and R. K. Mohanty2 1. Department of History, St. Thomas College, Pala, Kottayam, Kerala, India (Email: [email protected]) 2. Department of Archaeology, Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute, Pune, Maharashtra, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 25 June 2017; Revised: 20 July 2017; Accepted: 16 August 2017 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 5 (2017): 100‐139 Abstract: The archaeological data regarding Christianity are widely spread and scattered at different parts of India. Even though the present research is confined to south central Kerala, an attempt has been made here to incorporate the available archaeological data related to Christianity from various parts of India with special focus on the Kerala Coast. It looks for the material evidence which directly or indirectly connected with Christianity. Data from various archaeological excavated sites of Kerala are incorporated. It also examines evidences from epigraphy and numismatics sources and other antiquities and put forward the possibilities of further archaeological research in the field of antiquity of Christianity. Keywords: Christianity, India, Historiography, Persia, Trade, Excavation, Numismatics Introduction The present sources of knowledge on early Christianity in India, especially of the study area are mainly from the written sources and oral traditions. The available written sources belong to the Portuguese period (16th century) and aftermath. The sources for the history of Christianity in the study area prior to the 16th century are very few, because a good number of pre Portuguese documents, mostly written in Syriac had been burned down during the Synod of Diamper in 1599 (Geddes 1694:172; Ferroli 1939:188; Zacharia 1994;Gillmann and Klimkeit 2016: 163).
