The tale of Bastar is an old story that starts from the 13th century. The Raja who reached Bastar the most secluded jungle which was the abode of primitive tribes of our time, had to become king of this area which even didn’t have the word ‘king’ in the local dialect. The endless desires and greed for power and wealth were destined to a dramatic end for the small princely kingdom of Bastar. It was the threshold for the beginning of a new era of uprising of the people of Bastar against British rule, against injustice and for the acceptance of their King or Raja as the ruler of Bastar. Rendered in English by well-known translator Naresh ‘Nadeem’ the novel is a long saga of many small intertwined interesting stories of Bastar. With affluent small sentences with a flair of pure storytelling style, the novel presents the sufferings, pain, simplicity and happenings in the world of tribes of Bastar to make their life, values and way of living understandable for a common reader.

Download or read book The Singapore and Melaka Straits written by Peter Borschberg and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singapore and Melaka Straits are a place where regional and long-distance maritime trading networks converge, linking Europe, the Mediterranean, eastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent with key centres of trade in Thailand, Indochina, insular Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan. The first half of the 17th century brought heightened political, commercial and diplomatic activity to this region. It had long been clear to both the Portuguese and the Dutch that whoever controlled the waters off modern Singapore gained a firm grip on regional as well as long-distance intra-Asian trade. By the early 1600s Portuguese power and prestige were waning and the arrival of the Dutch East India Company constituted a major threat. Moreover, the rapid expansion and growing power of the Acehnese Empire, and rivalry between Johor and Aceh, was creating a new context for European trade in Asia.
