The Calcutta Review October 1902

1902

Long and peaceful mutual intercourse had bound the Muhamadan foreigners and the Native Hindoos of the Malabar Coast in close friendship so much so that the Portuguese who were the rivals of the one became for that reason alone the rivals of the other also.. [...] The King of Portugal on hearing of the intractability of the Zamorin the jealousy of the Moors and the consequent Portuguese disasters resolved on teaching the Raja of Calicut a lesson at any cost on driving away the Moslems from the Indian seas altogether and on spreading the religion of the Cross in thEast. [...] The pathetic cries of the children and the hearrending supplications of the mothers had not the slightest effect on the pious Portuguese Admiral. [...] Gama demanded satisfact from the Zamorin for the outrages committed by the Mussalmanc on the Portuguese subjects hit in the Calicut factory and when satisfaction was not forthcoming more fishermen were seizedrand hanged burnt or drowned ; and the cynic Admiral sent the limbs of the unfortunate victims as presents to the Zamorin. [...] The Raja of Calicut called all his men together and harangued them on the sacredness and antiquity of his tie with the Moslem families of Calicut and on the urgent necessity of driving away the Portuguese from Malabar and to this the army and people thoroughly agreed.
