摘要

This book outlines the naval activities of some of the Indian states, specially those under the saffron banner of the Marathas and the leadership of Tipu Sultan, the ‘Tiger of Mysore’. Deviating from the common belief that the Indian states lacked naval awareness, the author shows the rise of Indian indigenous navies and tries to find out the reasons for their subsequent failure. He gives a detailed and extensive insight to one of the crucial time periods of Indian naval history as, in the words of noted Indian historian K. S. Mathew, ‘this is the phase when the indigenous technology of ship building and navigation encountered the Europeans’. The book is divided into three time periods. The initial chapters deal with the maritime activities of Calicut and Surat with the arrival of the Portuguese naval strategies. The second part of the book deals with the rise of irregular warfare strategies under the Marathas especially against the English East India Company (EEIC). The author argues that the continental mindset of the Marathas had prevented them from developing overseas trade which further ensured that a blue water navy was not created. The continental mindset of the Indians underwent a change under the able leadership of Tipu Sultan, who realized that the naval strategy was the best way of ousting the English. In the third chapter of the book the author discusses the rise of Mysore navy with the help of the French, in the background of international events.

Mathew的话来说,他对印度海军历史的关键时期之一进行了详尽而广泛的见解,“这是造船和航行的本土技术遇到欧洲人的阶段”。这本书分为三个时间段。最初的章节涉及随着葡萄牙海军战略的到来,卡利卡特和苏拉特的海上活动。本书的第二部分讨论了马拉松时期特别是针对英国东印度公司(EEIC)的非常规战争策略的兴起。作者认为,马拉加人的大陆思维方式阻止了他们发展海外贸易,这进一步确保了不建立蓝色海军。在蒂普·苏丹(Tipu Sultan)的有力领导下,印第安人的大陆思想发生了变化,后者意识到海军战略是驱逐英语的最佳方法。在本书的第三章中,作者在国际事件的背景下,在法国的帮助下讨论了迈索尔海军的崛起。
