This serene street scene is typical of this seaside town – albeit not typical of most Indian towns.

Bound to history
Situated on a small island just off the coast of Kerala, Fort Kochi remains one of the quietest urban areas in India.
It's an old town with plenty of history – and in some ways, it seems to be bound to its history. Before the European colonists came along, Kochi was nothing more than a tiny fishing village. And even today, local fisherman use the large, traditional, stationary “Chinese fishing nets,” also known as “lift nets.”
Unbound from dominators
Today, one of the most significant features of the town is the old European homes that line the broad streets. These homes were built by the European colonialists who controlled Fort Kochi for 424 years!
The Portuguese possessed it for 160 years, the Dutch for 112 years, and then the British for 152 years, until Indian independence in 1947. Yeah, freedom.
lovely click..
Thanks for the history of 4 centuries in one city. I am sure that every nation has left its imprint on the development of the city.

very happy to see the city, in this type of condition, after suffering from the big flood...
Actually, this was taken about 8 years ago. And since Fort Kochi is situated on an island off the coast, it may not have suffered much, if any, from flooding.

Beautiful kochchi fort street..
This is not "one of the most beautiful beaches in Kerala." It's obviously a street in Fort Kochi.
Ok sir! Little knowledge is dangerous knowledge.. this rule fallow me.ha ha
Good. Also, do not copy-paste text from other sites. That's plagiarism.
On Steemit, the point is to CREATE YOUR OWN material ... whether that is posts or comments. So,write your own posts, and do so with original material.
And when you write comments, write about your own perspective, and do so in high-quality comments. No copy-paste, no dull pointless statements.
Ok sir! Will be careful in future... thanks for such guide line.i will oblige you..
