It is more than five centuries after Vasco Da Gama reached India. It was on 20th May 1498 that he reached Kappad, near Calicut. Within days, he met the King Zamorin of Calicut and requested for doing business and exchange of commodities.

History has it that it was the starting point of the British and other European countries reaching the fertile India and not only capturing the markets, but capturing the country through treachery, making kings fight each other, and also by using force with their advanced military power. The European dominance, mainly the British, ruled the Country for about two centuries.

Vasco da Gama was one of the visitors of doom for the country. After getting Independence in 1947, even now such messengers of doom are visiting the country. The US and its MNCs are trying to subjugate India financially and  on  policy matters. Unless we resist such attempts and take our own decisions in the interest of the country, the future will not be bright. It should be our endeavour for an independent policy based on co-operation and mutual trust.
