Sri A K Antony ji Respeced Minister for Defence Sir, Kindly go through the attachment.

eaded by Justice V R krishnA IYER Your Excellency, It would be great , both for India and Kerala, if a Muziris Voyage along the lin es of the First century voyages from and to the Red Sea Ports of Berinice, Aden - and Socotra - which were frequent in the early centuries - could be re enacte d as suggested by the Kerala History Association headed by the venerable Justice V R Krishna Iyer. Such a tri p would get immense world media attention and will go a long way to promote Tour ism in the country and to project a glorious image of India's and Kerala's cultu re and achievements in the early centuries BCE and ACE. The Indian Navy could pl ay a pivotal role in such a trip as was played by the Omani Navy in the voyage o f the 'Jewel of Muscat'. Entreating your good selves and the Navy to kindly take immediate and effective steps in the matter, and to include the necessary funds in the forth coming bud get itsef for 1. a feasibility study, 2. for a Project Report, 3. for the constr uction of a Sail Ship at Beypore or elsewhere, and 4. for the training of a dedi cated team of sailors and navigators, and 5. to form a team of researcheras for the purpose. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Prof. George Menachery, West Bazaar, Ollur, Trichur District, Kerala 680306 0091 9846033713 0091 487 235 4398 0091 487 235 2468 kunjethy@gmail.com, kunjethy@yahoo.com Muziris Voyages KHA Navy.docx 67K View Download
