The article suggests that the application of this methodol…

Two major trends have so far dominated the maritime history of ancient India: in the western Indian Ocean, the emphasis has been on the enterprise and nautical skills of the foreigners - the Romans and Arabs who relegated Indian seafarers to coastal trade; while in the Bay of Bengal, brahmins as well as Indian merchants are credited with the expansion of Indian culture into Southeast Asia. On the basis of literary, archaeological and ethnographic…
