About The Book: Within this book, the author explores the historical significance of sea power in shaping India's trajectory. The narrative unfolds across chapters dedicated to the Indian Ocean's role, the Hindu Period, European arrival, Portuguese dominance, imperial conflicts, the British era, and a concluding chapter. The book underscores the frequently underestimated influence of maritime control in India's defense discourse. Barbarosa's proclamation serves as the narrative's starting point, illustrating India's sovereignty until it relinquished sea dominance in the 16th century. The arrival of the Portuguese marks a crucial turning point, ushering in an era of foreign dominance. Despite delayed recognition by figures like Sivaji and Hyder Ali, British supremacy over the Indian Ocean profoundly shapes India's history for 157 years. The book emphasizes the belated acknowledgment of sea power's significance, ultimately leading to the establishment and expansion of the Royal Indian Navy under the determined leadership of Admiral Fitzherbert. Advocating for a collaborative Oceanic policy, the text asserts that joint efforts between India and Britain are imperative for ensuring India's security.
