- General Broad Outline for the topic.........:
- Geography- a peninsula, surrounded by water with
coastline length units per unit of land mass should be able to foster relatively development of maritime activities, trade, fisheries, expeditions, but some of these don't progress to the level anticipated because of other factors from culture, religion, dietary preferences, force need for exploration such as famine not so frequent and non development of maritime life and culture;
many from the peninsula are likely basic swimmers if at all and to challenge the vagaries of the sea.
- History: go through above and the maritime history is rampant with BC era expeditions for whatever reasons, extended to most of southeast Asia.
- Dietary preference drive need for fishing; no preference for fishing gives low priority to related trade and vocational education.
- Effect of famine and low opportunities in growing families was a driving force for sections of populace to migrate in search for trade at various times; most of these were not avid swimmers but traveled by relatively safe boats of their time.
- Relative quite period In British India, for the peninsula; invasions of isolated coastline by venturing maritimers from Gulf and other places were quite frequent previously.
- Export of commodities and other non maritime goods drives the ports.
