LOBATO (Alexandre). RELAÇÕES Luso-Maratas 1658-1737. Lisboa. 1965. - LOBATO (Alexandre) RELAÇÕES Luso-Maratas 1658-1737 . Lisboa: Centro de Estudos Históricos Ultramarinos, 1965. 186 pp.; 230 mm. Alexandre Lobato's study on the relations between the State of India and the Maratha power between 1658 and 1737. The work documents the successive phases of conflict and negotiation with the Marathas over eight decades, from the first confrontations and the invasion of Goa by Sambaji in 1683, to the incursions into the Northern Province and the collection of the chauth tax in villages under Portuguese jurisdiction, ending on the eve of the great Maratha offensive of 1737-1740, which would lead to the loss of Bassein and most of the Northern Province. It constitutes a reference source for the military and diplomatic history of the State of India during the decline of Portuguese rule on the Indian west coast. Highly valued and rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
