| Abstract: | Abstract The rise of Maratha naval power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries marked a decisive shift in the maritime history of western India. Under the visionary leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji, the Marathas recognized the strategic and economic significance of the Konkan coastline, dotted with natural harbors and fortified seaports such as Sindhudurg, Vijaydurg, and Kolaba. These ports not only served as bastions of defense against external powers but also functioned as thriving nodes of regional and transoceanic trade. By consolidating control over maritime routes, the Marathas effectively challenged the dominance of the Portuguese, Dutch, and later the British on the western seaboard. Figures like Admiral Kanhoji Angre further strengthened Maratha naval supremacy, employing innovative tactics and asserting authority over merchant shipping in the Arabian Sea. The Konkan ports facilitated commerce in spices, textiles, and other goods, linking the Deccan economy with markets in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Southeast Asia. Beyond their economic role, these ports also became cultural intersections, reflecting the currents of cross-cultural interaction through diplomacy, trade, and naval encounters. The Maratha maritime enterprise thus reveals a dynamic interplay among local defense strategies, global economic currents, and regional assertions of sovereignty. This study highlights the pivotal role of Konkan ports in embedding the Maratha polity within the larger Indian Ocean world, reshaping both regional connectivity and global trade dynamics. |
