Denmark established a trading station at Tranquebar in 1616. Almost
one hundred years later two Germans, Ziegenbalg and
Heinrich Plutschau, arrived in Tranquebar as missionaries
sponsored by King Frederick IV. This set of volumes contains the
reports of the mission, written by Ziegenbalg and others, that
were sent back to Denmark. The reports contain a wealth of
information on Danish activity in India and Indian life. Here
displayed is a comparison of Indian and Danish soldiers.
