GAG322: Portugal und der Seeweg nach Indien
Im Frühjahr 1504 belagerte ein riesiges Heer aus 50.000 Soldaten, 300 Kriegselefanten und 200 Schiffen die Stadt Kochi an der indischen Malabarküste – dort versuchten 150 Portugiesen mit einem Hilfstrupp einheimischer Soldaten die Übermacht des Samorin aus Calicut (heute Kozhikode) abzuwehren und den bislang einzigen Militärstützpunkt in Indien zu verteidigen.
Gerade erst hatten die Portugiesen den Seeweg nach Indien für sich entdeckt und waren dabei, sich ein weltumspannendes Handelsnetz aufzubauen. Wir sprechen über die Anfänge der europäischen Expansion und wie Portugal zum ersten Weltreich der Geschichte wurde.

121. Trade & Faith
Between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, a distinct form of Islamic thought and practice developed among Muslim trading communities of the Indian Ocean. In this episode of BIC Talks, economic historian and author of Monsoon Islam: Trade and Faith on the Medieval Malabar Coast, Sebastian R Prange and art historian and researcher, Ayesha Matthan explore the argument presented in Sebastian’s book, that this 'Monsoon Islam' was shaped by merchants not sultans, forged by commercial imperatives rather than in battle, and defined by the reality of Muslims living within non-Muslim societies. Focusing on India's Malabar Coast, the much-fabled 'land of pepper', Prange speaks of how Monsoon Islam developed in response to concrete economic, socio-religious, and political challenges.
Sebastian R Prange is an economic historian who researches the development of Muslim trade networks in the medieval Indian Ocean world.
Ayesha Matthan is an art historian interested in photojournalistic practices, culture and politics in the Indian subcontinent from the 19th century to the present day.
AA Cafe #120 - India

Traveling with Melind John of Josuma Coffee, Brian was immersed into a new culture with new cuisine in the land of wandering cows. The DoubleShot has been using India's Monsooned Malabar coffee in the Ambergris Espresso Blend since opening, but this is his first glimpse into the country's coffee culture and agriculture.
The Age of Fasad: Jihad, Piety and Liturgical Islam in the Indian Ocean (1500-1750)
Yasser Arafath speaks at the South Asia Seminar on 10 October 2017 As the entry of the Portuguese opened up a turbulent time in the Indian Ocean, Muslim scribal elites across the region presented them within the image of idolatrous infidels. Writing in Arabic, the scribes from Malabar categorised this period as the Age of Fasad (social disorder) and advocated for ‘valour’ as the counter strategy. However, by transliterating sufis and prophets, vernacular scribes in Malabar insisted on the emotion of ‘piety’ for recreating the glory of the bygone Islamic past, as the fasad situation continued. This paper examines this textual/ lyrical transition- from Arabic valour texts to Arabi-Malayalam pietistic poetry- when a large number of Muslims began moving away from maritime towns to settle down in agrarian hinterland.
Media Network Kootwijk Calling Batavia
In this programme we tell the fascinating story of the Kootwijk transmitter built in the centre of the Netherlands on the heathland. In the early 1920's the main goal of the station was to maintain contact with Indonesia, then called the Dutch East Indies. It was pretty amazing bearing in mind they were using the wrong frequency band because the existence of short-wave radio was as yet unknown. The listening site in Eemnes mentioned in the programme is still there, although I believe the station is part of the monitoring network used by the military. The original airing of this programme was on March 3rd 1988. We went back at the end of the Millennium for the close of the station - those shows have yet to be re-released. It was a great story to make, even though its about a "utility" station not a broadcaster. In fact, the same place was used for a short period after the Second World War for longwave broadcasts.
