This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rathbone Low, like so many servants of the East India Company, came from an Anglo-Irish ascendancy family, with estates in county Galway. His grandmother was a daughter of the 4th Viscount Boyne, his grandfather served in H.M. 76th Foot, his father was a Major in the Bengal Native Infantry, and he himself married the daugher of a General. Charles was born at Dublin on 30th October 1837. He entered the East India Company's Indian Navy in 1853 and saw active service againt pirates and slave traders in waters ranging from Zanzibar to the China Seas, only to have his career cut short in 1863 when the Indian Navy was abolished - hence the termina date of the present work. Returning to England, he was appointed the first Librarian (and Assistant Secretary) of the Royal United Services Institution in 1865, leaving the post in 1868 to concentrate on a career as a gentleman author and representative of the past glories of the Indian Navy. Beginning in 1866 and continuing until his death in 1918, he published a stream of monographs which included histories of the Royal Navy, the British Army, the First Afghan War, maritime discovery, and African exploration, and biographies of Field Marshal Pollock and Captain James Cook, while at the same time contributing hundreds of articles and shorter pieces to The Tmes and to literary and learned journals. The work which has lasted longest, indeed which still has no rivals, is his history of the Indian Navy, published in 1877 - coincidentally the year when the two post-1863 local non-combatant marine services based at Bombay and Calcutta were reorganised as H.M. Indian Marine, eventually the Royal Indian Navy. An in-depth history of this second phase of the Indian Navy's existence has yet to appear but at least we have the mass of information accumulated by original edition have now become both scarce and expensive, so the present reprint is most welcome. it also provides the opportunity to partly remedy the annoying lack of an index in the 1877 work. Low contented himself with detailed chapter summaries (which can still stand for a broad subject approach). The London Stamp Exchange added indexes of ships and officers, compiled by Captain Douglas Morris R.N. (Retd.), whose enthusiasm for the Indian Navy - and its medals - was largely responsible for the reissue of Low.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Navy has gradually emerged as an indispensable tool of Indian diplomacy in recent years, making it imperative for Indian policy-makers and naval thinkers to think anew the role of the nation’s naval forces in Indian strategy. There is a long tradition in India of viewing the maritime dimension of security as central to the nation’s strategic priorities. With India's economic rise, India is trying to bring that focus back, making its navy integral to national grand strategy. This volume is the first full-length examination of the myriad issues that have emerged out of the recent rise of Indian naval power.

Download or read book History of the Indian Navy Volume I written by Charles Low and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of four volumes originally published in 1877 (two volumes) and covers the history of the Indian Navy from 1613 to 1816 when it was called the Bombay Marine and served as the naval arm of the British East India Company. It is, essentially, a tale of high adventure at a time when the British and other European countries had no distinct technological advantages over the Asian powers they encountered as they sought to expand their wide-ranging mercantile empires. It is filled with harrowing first-hand accounts of these adventures in distant lands that, by their very nature, could never avoid being romanticized by later generations.The Bombay Marine was formed to protect the East India Company's merchant ships from the pirates of the Malabar coast and the Portuguese warships that sought to preserve Portugal's lucrative monopoly in the Indian Ocean trade. Most of its little-known battles were fought on a small-scale against the ships, boats, and strongholds of Arab, Malay, and Indian pirates, and such English buccaneers as Captains Kidd and Avery, in exotic locations, ranging across the southern oceans from the Red Sea, to the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the East Indies, and as far east as the China Sea. It soon, however, became an instrument of empire and was involved in sea battles with and against the naval forces of the Mogul emperors, the shahs of Persia, the Maratha (Mahratta) Rajahs, and the ships of the Dutch and French colonial empires.The three subsequent volumes of Charles Low's History of the Indian Navy will chronicle the transformation of the East India Company's Bombay Marine to the British Empire's Indian Navy, and its ultimate and much regretted disbandment in 1863.
Download or read book The Royal Indian Navy written by Kalesh Mohanan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive history of the Royal Indian Navy (RIN). It traces the origins of the RIN to the East India Company, as early as 1612, and untangles the institution’s complex history. Capturing various transitional phases of the RIN, especially during the crucial period of 1920–1950, it concludes with the final transfer of the RIN from under the British Raj to independent India. Drawn from a host of primary sources—personal diaries and logs, official reports and documents—the author presents a previously unexplored history of colonial and imperial defence policy, and the contribution of the RIN during the World Wars. This book explores several aspects in RIN’s history such as its involvement in the First World War; its status in policies of the British Raj; the martial race theory in the RIN; and the development of the RIN from a non-combat force to a full-fledged combat defence force during the Second World War. It also studies the hitherto unexplored causes, nature and impact of the 1946 RIN Revolt on the eve of India’s independence from a fresh perspective. An important intervention in the study of military and defence history, this will be an essential read for students, researchers, defence personnel, military academy cadets, as well as general readers.
