Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sacred Chank of India: A Monograph of the Indian Conch (Turbinella Pyrum) Tuticorin in 1791, when the net produce was divided equally between the Dutch and Mr. Torin acting for the Madras Government who had assumed the revenues of the Nawab. And in 1794 the Dutch received as their half share in the chank fishery for that year, the sum of pagodas. In the next year the Madras Govern ment had again to take possession of Tuticorin from the Dutch to whom it was not given back till 1818. Upon the rendition of the fort and factory, the Nether lands Commissioner demanded an admission ofhis right to the whole revenue from the pearl and chank fisheries, a claim which the East India Company resisted as having succeeded to the sovereign rights of the Nawab of the Carnatic. The Madras Government pointed out that the pearl banks being scattered along the coast of Tinnevelly could not therefore come within the limits of any Dutch settlement; that the Portuguese and after wards the Dutch usurped the command of the whole Gulf, they said was very probable and it was quite probable that the Dutch for a time kept to themselves the whole revenues derived from these fisheries, but as they held them by no deed and by no cession, they might be said to have held them so long only as they could keep them. Voluminous evidence was collected to prove that the native rulers - the Nayak of Madura and the Nawab 0f the Carnatic had never relinquished their claims to these fisheries and the dispute had been referred to Europe for settlement when, in 1825, the annexation of all Dutch settlements in India rendered it unnecessary to further debate this contention since 1825 and indeed since 1801, when the Carnatic was ceded finally to the British, the Madras Government have exercised absolute and undivided control of both the pearl and chank fisheries off the Tinnevelly coast.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Conch: And Its Relation to Hindu Life and Religion To all Hindus the important position occupied by the Sacred Conch (Turbinella pyrum, Linn.), the Sankha of Sanscrit literature and the Sanku or Chanku of Tamil speech, in their religion is a commonplace of everyday knowledge; few, however, are aware of the intimate relationship it bears to a hundred common incidents in the ordinary life of the people in many localities and among widely sundered races, tribes, and castes. In the following pages an attempt will be made to survey this little known by-way in the life and history of the Indian world, to show how superstition looks upon the Sankha as an amulet against the powers of evil, how this belief is among the oldest and most tenaciously held by Animist and Hindu, by Muhammadan and by Buddhist; to indicate the way this belief has brought the shell into prominence in the Hindu religion, and to detail how it subserves as well, a hundred different uses in the daily lives of millions of Indians - how it is associated with infancy, marriage and death, and finally how its employment in the form of ornamental bangles was once the subject of an important industry in several widely separated parts of India, prominent being Kathiawar and Gujarat where to-day all memory of it has vanished. In connection with this latter point I trust that the attention now drawn to it, may result in the revival in Kathiawar of an industry that has more good things than usual in its favour if we consider other aims than that of mere money-making; no objects manufactured in India are more artistic and pleasing than the handsome milk-white bangles made in Dacca workshops for the ladies of Bengal. In the course of collecting the materials for this essay, difficult problems have taken form. Some we can solve, but others remain obscure; among the latter may be mentioned the unknown cause for the cessation and disappearance of the chank bangle industry in Kathiawar, Gujarat and the Deccan, and the question whether the use of chank bangles among a few sections of several castes in South India is in the nature of a survival of a once universal custom. Another point to which I wish to draw attention is the bearing upon the antiquity of trade relations between India and the Persian Gulf in the recognition I made last year of several exhibits in the Louvre as consisting of objects carved from the shell of the Indian conch.

Book Synopsis Marine Shells of Goa by : Sangeeta M. Sonak
Download or read book Marine Shells of Goa written by Sangeeta M. Sonak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique introduction to the study of shells and molluscs for all those who take pleasure in shells, the treasure of the sea. However, unlike other shell albums, compendiums or guides, the central focus of this book is on shells and not molluscs. Therefore, in addition to the classification and identification of shells, the book also addresses aspects including the shell art and shell craft of Goa, the importance of shells, and literary works related to shells and their writers. The book also describes various shell habitats of Goa. The primary objective of this book is to introduce readers to the concept of shell heritage and to spark curiosity and scientific interest, not just among conchologists but also local and visiting beachgoers. Accordingly, it primarily uses straightforward, non-technical language. The book will also appeal to those readers without any previous knowledge of the subject, helping them to understand and appreciate the shells that they collect from the seashores of Goa.
