close Calicut. In the sixteenth century the Portuguese supplanted the Arab
brokers and commanded the business of the Malabar Coast. Their endeavor to set
up power was upset by the zamorin (inherited leader) of Calicut. The Dutch
removed the Portuguese in the seventeenth century. Marthanda Varma climbed the
Venad seat in 1729 and squashed Dutch expansionist plans at the Battle of
Kolachel 12 years after the fact.
Two
years after India's autonomy was accomplished in 1947, Cochin and Travancore
