It covers a wide range of subjects exploring both the pan- Indian and the regional dimensions of the theme. The contributions of different regions of India are analysed in the general framework of Indian History. The sea-trade and cultural links with the outside world, especially with Rome, Sri Lanka, and South-east Asia are discussed on the basis of textual sources and archaeological data. Some of the papers throw light on the indigenous boat types with reference to their technique of construction and navigation. The ordinary and reversed clinker-built boats, found in coastal Orissa, highlight the need for serious investigation into the changing tradition of boat building and navigation. The stimulating papers, based on previous and most recent research, collectively provide a clear and coherent picture of the great seafaring tradition of India from the ancient times to the 17th century. It is hoped that the volume will be useful to scholars, as well as anyone with interest in the seafaring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The photographic documentation at the end is a marvellous tribute to the rich maritime history and heritage of India.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Dr. Karuna Sagar Behera, born on 5th December, 1939 at Angul, was educated in Angul High School, Angul and Revenshaw College, Cuttack.

The maritime tradition of India is as old as our civilization and as vast as the Indian Ocean. The papers included in part one of the book discuss important and fascinating facets of the theme from different perspectives. The subject matter ranges from archaeological roots to surviving boat- building traditions in Karnataka, Orissa and Andaman \u0026amp; Nicobar islands; from early maritime contacts with Rome to cultural links with Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia and China; and from literary evidence regarding seafaring and ship-building to rivalry in the Bay of Bengal, ports and landmarks in East India. Furthermore, the contributions of the West coast, Tamil Nadu, Orissa and Bengal to the overall Indian pattern have been highlighted on the basis of literary, ethnological, and the most recent archaeological data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The vivid documentation in Part Two illustrates the chronological development of the seafaring activities in the Indian Ocean and their cultural impact.
