From the earliest riverine ports to the great harbours of the Indian Ocean, India's story is inseparable from the sea. The oceans remember Indian ships. In Indian Shipping, Radhakumud Mookerji unfolds a sweeping narrative of Indian maritime history, tracing the sea trade of ancient India, seaborne trade and navigation, and evolving Indian shipbuilding traditions across centuries of contact and exchange. Drawing on inscriptions, classical accounts and indigenous sources, this classic maritime trade history book reconstructs Indian Ocean shipping routes and commercial networks that linked South Asia with East Africa, Arabia and Southeast Asia, placing India firmly at the heart of Indian Ocean world history. Both a vivid story and a rigorous, scholarly history of shipping, it illuminates how commerce, religion and ideas moved over water as much as over land. First published in the early twentieth century, Indian Shipping remains a foundational resource for maritime scholars and a trusted reference for history students exploring ancient Indian Ocean trade. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Accessible yet meticulously researched, Mookerji's study speaks to anyone interested in the currents of Indian Ocean world history, from students discovering seaborne trade and navigation to collectors drawn to Indian shipbuilding traditions and classic works of Indian maritime history, and to all who wish to own Indian Shipping by Radhakumud Mookerji as both historical source and cultural artefact.
