[T]he Dutch Republic, like its successor the Kingdom of the Netherlands, [...] throughout the early modern period had an advanced maritime [trading, exports] and (financial) service [banking, insurance] sector. Moreover, Dutch involvement in Atlantic slavery stretched over two and a half centuries. [...] Carefully estimating the scope of all the activities involved in moving, processing and retailing the goods derived from the forced labour performed by the enslaved in the Atlantic world [...] [shows] more clearly in what ways the gains from slavery percolated through the Dutch economy. [...] [This web] connected them [...] to the enslaved in Suriname and other Dutch colonies, as well as in non-Dutch colonies such as Saint Domingue [Haiti], which was one of the main suppliers of slave-produced goods to the Dutch economy until the enslaved revolted in 1791 and brought an end to the trade. [...] A significant part of the eighteenth-century Dutch elite was actively engaged in financing, insuring, organising and enabling the slave system, and drew much wealth from it. [...] [A] staggering 19% (expressed in value) of the Dutch Republic's trade in 1770 consisted of Atlantic slave-produced goods such as sugar, coffee, or indigo [...].

---

One point that deserves considerable emphasis is that [this slave-based Dutch wealth] [...] did not just depend on the increasing output of the Dutch Atlantic slave colonies. By 1770, the Dutch imported over fl.8 million worth of sugar and coffee from French ports. [...] [T]hese [...] routes successfully linked the Dutch trade sector to the massive expansion of slavery in Saint Domingue [the French colony of Haiti], which continued until the early 1790s when the revolution of the enslaved on the French part of that island ended slavery.

Before that time, Dutch sugar mills processed tens of millions of pounds of sugar from the French Caribbean, which were then exported over the Rhine and through the Sound to the German and Eastern European ‘slavery hinterlands’.

---

Coffee and indigo flowed through the Dutch Republic via the same trans-imperial routes, while the Dutch also imported tobacco produced by slaves in the British colonies, [and] gold and tobacco produced [by slaves] in Brazil [...]. The value of all the different components of slave-based trade combined amounted to a sum of fl.57.3 million, more than 23% of all the Dutch trade in 1770. [...] However, trade statistics alone cannot answer the question about the weight of this sector within the economy. [...] 1770 was a peak year for the issuing of new plantation loans [...] [T]he main processing industry that was fully based on slave-produced goods was the Holland-based sugar industry [...]. It has been estimated that in 1770 Amsterdam alone housed 110 refineries, out of a total of 150 refineries in the province of Holland. These processed approximately 50 million pounds of raw sugar per year, employing over 4,000 workers. [...] [I]n the four decades from 1738 to 1779, the slave-based contribution to GDP alone grew by fl.20.5 million, thus contributing almost 40% of all growth generated in the economy of Holland in this period. [...]

---

These [slave-based Dutch commodity] chains ran from [the plantation itself, through maritime trade, through commodity processing sites like sugar refineries, through export of these goods] [...] and from there to European metropoles and hinterlands that in the eighteenth century became mass consumers of slave-produced goods such as sugar and coffee. These chains tied the Dutch economy to slave-based production in Suriname and other Dutch colonies, but also to the plantation complexes of other European powers, most crucially the French in Saint Domingue [Haiti], as the Dutch became major importers and processers of French coffee and sugar that they then redistributed to Northern and Central Europe. [...]

The explosive growth of production on slave plantations in the Dutch Guianas, combined with the international boom in coffee and sugar consumption, ensured that consistently high proportions (19% in 1770) of commodities entering and exiting Dutch harbors were produced on Atlantic slave plantations. [...] The Dutch economy profited from this Atlantic boom both as direct supplier of slave-produced goods [from slave plantations in the Dutch Guianas, from Dutch processing of sugar from slave plantations in French Haiti] and as intermediary [physically exporting sugar and coffee] between the Atlantic slave complexes of other European powers and the Northern and Central European hinterland.

#abolition #these authors lead by pointing out there is general lack of discussion on which metrics or data to use to demonstrate #extent of slaverys contribution to dutch metropolitan wealth when compared to extensive research #on how british slavery profits established infrastructure textiles banking and industrialisation at home domestically in england #so that rather than only considering direct blatant dutch slavery in guiana caribbean etc must also look at metropolitan business in europe #in this same issue another similar article looks at specifically dutch exporting of slave based coffee #and the previously unheralded importance of the dutch export businesses to establishing coffee mass consumption in europe #via shipment to germany #which ties the expansion of french haiti slavery to dutch businesses acting as intermediary by popularizing coffee in europe #which invokes the concept mentioned here as slavery hinterlands #and this just atlantic lets not forget dutch wealth from east india company and cinnamon and srilanka etc #and then in following decades the immense dutch wealth and power in java

What is slow hobbies? From Deepika to Kajol, everybody is busy with it!

The well established customs of chasing after positive routines are returning into vogue, very much like our grandmas and incredible grandmas had winding around abilities, a few entertainers are bringing back those propensities. The explanation isn't to take a break the entire day however they are named as 'slow side interests' investigating the component of psychological well-being.

Content investigation of unconditional reactions uncovered five significant topics: medical advantages, the course of stitch, unique interaction, sew as a commitment, and online sew networks.

The information recommends that stitching gives positive advantages to individual prosperity, with numerous respondents effectively using it to adapt to psychological wellness issues and huge life altering situations like sadness, constant disease, and agony. Sew, being a generally economical and versatile movement that is handily educated, seems to offer comparative beneficial outcomes as weaving.

Sewing: Known for its reflective characteristics, weaving gives a quiet reprieve from everyday turmoil, with its musical movements and material commitment offering a feeling of quiet and achievement, particularly when partaken in a social scene.

Painting or Drawing: Participating in visual expressions considers self-articulation and imagination while requiring concentration and scrupulousness, working with care and advancing unwinding.

Perusing: Digging into a decent book gives a break from the buzzing about regular day to day existence, permitting you to drench yourself in various universes and viewpoints at your own speed.

Cooking or Baking: Finding opportunity to get ready dinners without any preparation can be a remedial cycle, cultivating a more profound appreciation for fixings and flavors while empowering imagination in the kitchen.

In a meeting, even Bollywood entertainer Ananya Pandey referenced her as of late found interest in baking her advantage in one of the sluggish leisure activities.

Composing/Journaling: Whether journaling, verse, or narrating, composing offers a space for reflection and self-revelation, permitting you to investigate your contemplations and feelings purposely and purposefully.

“ஆகவே சுழிக்காற்றின் அபாயத்தைக் காட்டிலும் சுற்றிலும் ஒன்றும் பார்க்க முடியாமலிருப்பதுதான் அதிக அபாயம்" என்று அம்மரக்கலத் தலைவன் கூறினான்.

இது இளவரசருக்குத் தெரிந்த விஷயந்தான். ஆகவே அவர் அத்தனைக் காற்றிலும் மழையிலும் கப்பலின் ஓரமாக நின்று கொண்டு தன் கூரிய கண்களின் பார்வையை நாலாபுறமும் செலுத்திக் கொண்டிருந்தார். மின்னல் மின்னிய போதெல்லாம் அவருடைய கண்கள் அதிவேகமாகச் சுழன்று சுற்றுப்புறமெங்கும் உற்றுப் பார்த்தன. அவருடைய உள்ளம் எப்படித் தத்தளித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது என்பதைச் சொல்லி முடியாது. தன் அருமைத் தமக்கை அனுப்பிய தூதன் முரட்டு அராபியர்களிடமும், கொலைகார மந்திரவாதிகளிடமும் அகப்பட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறான். அது போதாது என்று இந்தச் சுழிக்காற்று வேறு வந்து சேர்ந்தது. ஒருவேளை அவ்வீர வாலிபன் ஏறியுள்ள கப்பலைக் கண்டுபிடிக்க முடியாமலே போய்விடுமோ? கண்டுபிடித்தாலும், அவனை உயிரோடு காண்பது சாத்தியமா? கலபதி அஞ்சுவதுபோல் அவன் ஏறியிருக்கும் கப்பல் மேல் நம் கப்பல் மோதி இரண்டும் கடலில் மூழ்கினால் வேடிக்கையாகத்தானிருக்கும்! ஆனால் தந்தையிடம் சொல்லவேண்டிய செய்தியைச் சொல்லுவது யார்? பார்த்திபேந்திரனிடம் அந்தக் குடும்ப இரகசியத்தைக் கூறுவது இயலாத காரியம். கூறினால் அந்தப் பல்லவனுக்கு அது கேலியாயிருக்கும்; அதன் முக்கியத்துவத்தை அவன் உணரமாட்டான். இதுகாறும் இளவரசர் செய்ய எண்ணிய காரியம் எதிலும் தோல்வியடைந்ததில்லை. இப்போது தோல்வி ஏற்பட்டுவிடுமோ? - இல்லை, ஒருநாளும் இல்லை. பொன்னியின் செல்வனுக்குத் தீங்கு நேருவதையோ, தோல்வி ஏற்படுவதையோ சமுத்திர ராஜன் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கமாட்டான்!”

Excerpt From

Ponniyin Selvan Anaithu Pagangal (Tamil Edition)

Kalki

This material may be protected by copyright.

Context: This snippet starts as a part of a conversation between Arulmozhi and the captain of the ship Parthibendran has brought to Srilanka, which Arulmozhi has boarded and is pursuing Vandiyathevan’s doomed ship in.

“Hence, more dangerous than the whirlwinds is that it would not be possible to see anything around,” said the ship’s captain.

This was something the Prince was already aware of. Therefore, he trained his sharp gaze through the heavy winds and rains in all four directions. Whenever lightning flashed, his eyes scanned the surrounding areas quickly. It would be impossible to express how much his heart suffered. The messenger sent by his beloved sister floundered among brutish Arab men and murderous magicians. As if that wasn’t enough, these whirlwinds too had struck. Is there a chance they would not be able to find the ship the brave young man had boarded? Even if he is found, would it be possible to see him alive? As the captain fears if our ship collides with the ship he is on and both the ships drown, that would be a joke indeed! However, who will then convey what has to be told to Father? Telling Parthibendran those family secrets is an impossible task. If he is told, it would be a matter of mockery for the Pallavan; he would not understand its importance.Till now, the Prince had not encountered failure in whatever task he has undertaken. Would he face failure now? No, never. The King of the Seas would not idly watch misfortune or failure befall Ponniyin Selvan!

Today’s snippet, thankfully on time!

Arulmozhi’s side of the Arulmozhi and Vandiyathevan dynamic!

I find it interesting that while on one hand, he definitely thinks that “Ponni” is a human woman, Arulmozhi deliberately attaches supernatural meaning to the identity of Ponniyin Selvan, the son of Ponni, which is a very human thing to do, an emotional thing to do.

Tagging the usual list. @whippersnappersbookworm @celestesinsight @harinishivaa @thereader-radhika @thelekhikawrites @themorguepoet @willkatfanfromasia @favcolourrvibgior @racoonpaws @mizutaama @deadloverscity and @humapkehaikaun
