Before the Tiger: The British Stripes in Kerala

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Malabaricus, we trace the early moves of the British East India Company in Kerala, long before their fateful encounter with Tipu Sultan, the infamous "Tiger of Mysore." As the 18th century progressed, the Company transitioned from mere traders to power brokers, navigating Kerala’s fragmented kingdoms and forging strategic alliances. From the northern coast to the powerful Travancore kingdom, the British laid the groundwork for their eventual dominance—just as the looming threat of Mysore’s tiger began to cast its shadow. Join host Sreeraag Mohan as we explore this pivotal chapter in Kerala’s history, setting the stage for the conflicts to come.
