Summary
In Colonial Currents: The English Channel of the East, we begin our journey into the short yet intriguing French presence in Kerala. Focusing on the small enclave of Mahé, separated from British Thalassery by the Mayyazhi River—often called the "English Channel of the East"—this episode explores how the French East India Company briefly carved out a foothold on the Malabar Coast. We trace the strategic moves of Mahé de La Bourdonnais, the influence of the French on local culture, and the subtle legacies they left behind. Join us for the first episode of Season 4: The French Interlude and the British Dominion, as we unravel this fascinating chapter of colonial history.
