History of India
India is home to some of the most ancient civilizations and has given birth to four major world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
Stone Age rock shelters with paintings at Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh are the earliest known traces of
human life in India. The first known permanent settlements appeared 9,000 years ago and developed into the Indus Valley Civilization, which peaked between 2600 BC and 1900 BC.
The country was a part of the British Empire before gaining independence in 1947.

Pepper Trail - The trail of history, tradition and cuisine of Kerala.
Please come through this Peppertrail to the corner of the pepper country, the old kingdom of Kochi, in central
Kerala. Black pepper, the most widely used spice in the world, is native to my home state of Kerala, located at
the southwestern tip of India. Centuries ago black pepper attracted many foreign traders to our shores. This
long history of foreign trade had considerable impact on our agriculture, cuisine and to a certain extent even
on our language. Both the Nayars (hereditary warriors) and the Royalty of Kerala still continue to observe the
ceremonial aspects of the ancient matrilineal system. Let me introduce you through this web site to our ancient cultural traditions, fascinating food history and our delicious and simple cuisine.
Kerala & Travancore
The Dutch did not have a major presence in India. The towns of Travancore were ruled by the Dutch. They trained the military of the princely state of Kerala.
Tranquebar
Tranquebar was a Danish colony in India, from 1620-1845, founded by the Danish East India Company. It is
spelled Trankebar or Trangebar in Danish, which came from the native Tamil, Tarangambadi. It was sold to Britain in 1845.
Tranquebar: A Season in South India - Georgina Harding
Now a fishing village on the Coromandel Coast of India, Tranquebar was once the chief Danish colony in Asia
. Intrigued by its dual identity, the author spent a winter there with her baby son, and describes it today - a
village reclaimed by an India that appears careless of its legacy, its history, its decaying colonial buildings
now occupied by rich Muslims and rival Christian missions, and even of the Hindu temple that is slipping into the sea.
