The Kerala coast's only Muslim royal house whose Arakkal Ali Rajas ruled Kannur from a maritime kingdom built on pepper, cardamom, and Arabian Sea trade — commanding a fleet that made them the most formidable Muslim naval power.
Arakkal Kingdom (1545-1819) — the sole Muslim monarchy of Kerala whose Ali Raja dynasty governed Kannur and the Lakshadweep islands from a trading state built on Malabar spice commerce, their fleet controlling sea lanes that connected the pepper gardens of Kerala's Western Ghats to the markets of Arabia, Persia, and East Africa. The Arakkal rulers' alliance with the Zamorin of Calicut against Portuguese Estado da India placed them at the center of the 16th-century struggle for control of the Indian Ocean spice trade — the most commercially valuable maritime conflict of the early modern world — before British naval supremacy ended Arakkal independence in 1819. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Kannur spice coast legacy and Arakkal Indian heritage with a QR code linking to the full story."
