About this book
Rulers of India: Albuquerque, by H. Morse Stephens, has Sir William Wilson Hunter as its editor. The preface says that Affonso de Albuquerque was the first European since Alexander the Great who dreamed of establishing an empire in India, or rather in Asia, governed from Europe, and that the period in which he fought and ruled in the East is one of entrancing interest and great historical importance.
The text says that the India reached by Vasco da Gama, with which the Portuguese monopolised the direct communication for more than a century, was very different to the India with which the Dutch and English merchants sought concessions to trade. The text also says that the monarchs and chieftains whom the Portuguese first encountered were Hindus. The text includes a statement that justice is yours, and yours the arm, yours the sword, and in the hand of your Captain-General reposes the punishment, and says that the taking of Goa keeps India in repose and quiet.
