Some came to trade in its hottest product, spices, some to escape persecution back home, and a few others for peaceful living with a comfortable career to boot. From royalty down to the rabble, all found warm welcome in abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCochin surfaced from the sea as the favoured port of call in mid-14th century.

But slowly and steadily it started growing into a city that is presently closer to being a metropolis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of this small port-town saw the rise and fall of many powers, the complicated trajectories of the diverse people who made a home out of it, and crucially, the confluence of seemingly favoured faiths and conflicting cultures yoked together by visionaries who could imagine a better future of its citizens-here is the story of Cochin’s transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45081481347251,"sku":"9788119626472","price":636.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/81Cs5kMZLPL.jpg?v=1762887725","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/cochin-fame-and-fables","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
