Excellent coverage of Indian Ocean

Excellent and well researched broad coverage of the history of the countries around the Indian Ocean and Asia as a whole from old times to present….

Great book, lousy pronunciation

Sanjeev Sanyal is of course a great source of knowledge and innovative ideas. The chapters sometimes feel disconnected or abruptly ended. The pronunciations of indian words almost negate the whole point of the book that is suppose to be pride of Indian maritime history
