land side on many previous occasions. But such invasions and conquests have either led to transient political changes, or to thefoundation of new dynasties, which in a very short time became national and Indian. In fact it may truly be said that India never losther independence till she lost the command of the sea in the first decade of the sixteenth century.In the following pages an attempt is made to trace the influence of the Indian Ocean on the shaping of Indian history and to discussthe vital importance of oceanic control to the future of India. There has been an unfortunate tendency to overlook the sea in thediscussion of India’s defence problems Until now, the discussion has proceeded on the assumption that the security of India is amatter exclusively of the North-West Frontier and of a strong enough army to resist any aggression across the Hindu Kush. This isan entirely one-sided view of Indian history. No doubt most of the invasions of India have come from that side; and others may comefrom that quarter in the future also. The North-West Frontier and perhaps the North-East Frontier also will therefore remainimportant strategic areas for the defence of India. But an examination of the factors of Indian defence will show that ever since thesixteenth century from which time the Indian Ocean became the scene of a struggle for the control of the sea, the future of India hasbeen determined not on the land frontiers, but on the oceanic expanse which washes the three sides of India.It is true that till the beginning of the sixteenth century Oceanic problems had not intruded themselves on the history of the mainland.The reasons for this are obvious. In the first place, the control of the Indian waters was in Indian hands till the middle of thethirteenth century, and no power strong enough to challenge Indian control appeared on the ocean.The Arabs who succeeded to the supremacy of the sea, after the breakdown of Chola naval power were only commercial navigatorsand were not the instruments of any national policy, nor had they the support of any organised government. In short till the arrival of the Portuguese at Calicut, no naval power had appeared on Indian waters.What Vasco da Gama and his successors introduced into Indian history was the claim to an exclusive control of the seas, aconception wholly at variance with what had been accepted as the ” natural law ” both in Europe and in Asia.The might of Portugal was organised in order to enforce such a claim, and Alfonso Albuquerque by conquering Socotra, Ormuz andMalacca and by organising an impregnable territorial base in India established effectively that supremacy of the sea which his masterclaimed on the basis of the Bull of Pope Calixtus III. From that time till today the Ocean has dominated India. The unique glory of the Moghuls could not hide the fact that on the sea they were totally helpless, and Akbar himself had to suffer the humiliation of thetrade of the Empire being interrupted and the pilgrim traffic to Mecca harassed by the Portuguese on his coast. The Moghuls withtheir Central Asian tradition had no recognition of the importance of the sea. It is only when the Sidis of Janjira offered their servicesagainst the growing Maratha power on the sea that Aurangazib gave his half-hearted recognition to a fleet being organised on areasonable scale.
