Resting on the Coromandel Coast, in the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu, the small town of Tranquebar is a living museum, containing more than two centuries of Danish heritage in India. Tharangambadi, “the land of the singing waves,” as the town is known in Tamil, harmoniously integrates local Muslim and Tamil culture alongside European influences. Here, one can experience a rich past, as well as a relaxing and rejuvenating nostalgic atmosphere.
This book explores the History of Tranquebar and the Present Day setting and some of the challenges the local population face trying to develop.
