Study with reference to the state of Goa, India.
The Indian Ocean World was an idea borne out by researchers in economic history and trade in the 1980s in response to the compartmentalization of specific area studies within the wider rubric of Asian civilisations and culture. Professor Kirti N. Chaudhuri’s books Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company (1978), and then Trade and Civilization in the Indian Ocean (1985), figured amongst the forefront of this new movement in historical thinking, undertaking detailed historical analysis, first of the English East India Company, and then a comparative cultural history of Asian material life and civilisation. Today, historians continue to hold on to the idea of an Indian Ocean world, although studies now follow a number of different threads, from themes like linguistics and creolization, to the seeds of national consciousness. By presenting a number of studies here, gathered into the themes of ‘Intermixing,’ ‘The World of Trade’ and ‘Colonial Paths,’ it is hoped we can render tribute to one of the outstanding historians in this field and reflect the plenitude of current research in this subject area.

Ernest Fonseka - médico e cientista do Sri Lanka a trabalhar em Portugal - é encontrado morto no momento em que vários dos seus pacientes terminais melhoram subitamente.

No cerne do enigma está Mafalda de Castro, uma jovem mestiça que, em finais do século xvi, testemunhou os desencontros entre os vários reinos dessa ilha que se chamou Taprobana e assistiu à sua ocupação pelos Portugueses, para depois se apaixonar por um fidalgo. A pesquisa dos documentos encontrados no apartamento de Ernest revelará factos surpreendentes; mas, no rasto desse segredo guardado há séculos, Rui não escapará a um turbilhão de acontecimentos e perseguições, nem ficará a salvo do perigo e das malhas do amor.
The glacier of Ancient Vedic wisdom flowed down the Himalayan Kailash and watered the Hindu philosophy. The Shrutis (that which was heard) and the Smritis (that which was remembered) reflected this Vedic wisdom. Thinkers and philosophers of the time expressed their thoughts in prosaic Dharmasutras and later on in more refined poetic Dharmashastras. The Smritkars followed with their own interpretation, symbolically represented by the Code of Manu. That jurisprudence was responsible for taking the country through the Golden pages of its history. With the British dominance, India was plunged in Common Law Jurisprudence, interwoven with Hindu Philosophy. The Midnight country awoke in 1947 to an ...
