Description: Offerings to the Muslim Warriors of Malabar was one of the rarest and pioneering documents of historical importance which attests emphatically west European expansion in the Indian Ocean region and Malabar. It is the only foundation document on colonialism and enslavement written by Sheikh Zainuddin, a south Indian in the siteenth century, who like many of his compatriots, was very much affected by Portuguese atrocities and high-handedness that had been planned and sponsored by the Portuguese royalty and the Roman Catholic church. 
It is also a pioneering account of the beginning of the Clash of Civilisations between the west and the rest of the world and the valiant resistance put up by the Hindu king of Calicut, with the help of Marakkars who manned his navy.
