Burudj (Days in Gujarat section)

I think, Burudj or Broatsch is now Bharuch (also, called Broach till a few years back) on the mouth of the River Narmada, at its north bank where it joins the Arabian Sea. It is not Ratnagiri. Someone needs to find a source just to be certain though.

Guador and Gwadar

This article mentions the Pakistani (Baluchi) port of Guador. It should be spelled Gwadar and linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwadar. There is much going on in Gwadar that is of major strategic importance to Pakistan, China, US, and Middle East.

Thank you.

Djash or Jask?

Thanks for making some of the changes I had suggested earlier. I have taken the liberty to make some other changes on my own.

Question: Could the name mentioned as Djash on the Iranian coast really be Jask?

Comment: Sheba mentioned in this article has nothing to do with its link.

Rainy season

Rainy season in India is called monsoon. I don't know where the author got badzad from.

Commander of the Ottoman Indian Ocean Fleet

For the ones among you who really care, this section is the most absurd fantasy I ever read in my entire life. Could the author be kind enough to add some evidence of what is stated here? 1) The Portuguese aknowledged no ships losses for the entire campaign, and being so we have a problem. You see, contrary to Turkish practice, the Portuguese had no way to fake reports, not to mention the loss of any of the king's ships. They could inflate the enemy strength, which they did sometimes, but never their own damage. Among the reasons, because it was impossible to hide such a thing, when hundreds of men used to write every year to the king blowing everything in any subject. Information was not centralized. 2) The composition of the Portuguese fleet is, as one could expect, wrong. And all the operations were performed by the same fleet! You see, the guys Seydi found in Muscat were the same he had fought before (with no consequeces for both sides, least sinking a Portuguese galleon, God Allmighty!). Tired of chasing galleys that the galleons and caravels could not follow into the wind, they crossed to the Persian coast to catch wind that would take them to Muscat. They arrived there 4 days earlier than the Turkish fleet! 3)And they went back to Goa with 6 Turkish galleys and 34 heavy guns captured, for negligible casualties. The galleys were impressed in the Portuguese Eastern Fleet and latter they were copied - interesting. Primary Portuguese Sources in IAN/TT. Special call to the Rex Nordim (guazil of Ormuz) letter to the king of Portugal (CC/I/94/2; 1/11/1554) with digital copy in the web; Narrative in Diogo do Couto, Ásia, VI. We understand that Seydi was so affraid of the sultan's reaction that told whatever lies he could to live longer, but you don't need to repeat that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DFN1500 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's your problem with the name of Istanbul?

Ottomans called it "Dersaadet" (Gates of Happiness), "Darülhilafe" (Place of Caliphate), "Asitane" (Capital), "Payitaht" (Capital), Constantinople or Istanbul. They didn't mind as much as someone did.

Also, why there are two different links for the same city as Constantinople and Istanbul? Maybe I am wrong about this. Is there any other case like this for a different city? 212.253.206.90 (talk) 19:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
