520 |a Historical relics are not mere monuments of yesterdays, but the bearers of the stories of previous generations and incidents which transformed the society drastically. The forts of Kerala played a vital role in all the facets of Kerala, especially in the fields of military and commerce. Among them Anjengo fort deserves a special place as it is the first fort of the English in Kerala which played a decisive role in the transformation of Travancore. In ordinary cases, the forts only serve the cause of the master and not the interest of any other party. But in the case of Anjengo, it served both the English and the State of Travancore. The present study attempts to analyse the role played by the fort in the efforts of Marthanda Varma in the political consolidation of Travancore. It also attempts to understand the role played by the fort in making the English supreme in the commercial as well as political realms.
