Description
This book provides a history of the production, consumption, and distribution of opium and its derivatives from the time they form an objective political, social, economic, or cultural problem in a specific period and place. It argues that the first time in world history this happened was on the west coast of India--Malabar or Kerala--after 1660 due to the Dutch assault in the framework of establishing their Asian trade empire. This story encompasses the opium problem, the British assault, the Dutch assault, the French assault, the new imperialists, the victims, and the story of the snake and its tail.
