They mainly came to Malabar in North Kerala and left behind remarkable comments about it." They drank Malabar to their heart's content and left behind remarkable accounts of its past. To quote a few: "When you leave the Islands of Seilan and sail westwards about sixty miles, you come to the great province of Malabar, which is styled India the greater. It is the best of all the Indus and is on the main land. There is in the kingdom a great quantity of pepper and ginger and cinnamon and nuts of India" Marco Polo in his Book of Travels (1292 AD). "We next come to Kalikat, one of the great ports of the district of Malabar and in which merchants from all parts are found. "They put a thief to death for stealing a single nut or even a seed of any fruit, hence thieves are unknown among them. The greatest part of the Mohammedan merchants of this place are so wealthy that one of them can purchase the whole freightage of such vessels as put in here". Sheik Ibn Batuta (1342-47 AD). "Such security and justice reign in Malabar that rich merchants bring to it from maritime countries large cargoes of merchandise which they disembark and deposit in the streets and market places and for a length of time leave it without consigning it to any one's charge or placing it under and guard". Abdu-r-Razzak (1442 AD). "There was one point in regard to the character of the inhabitants of Malabar, on which all authorities, however diametrically opposed to each other on other points, agreed and that was with regard to the 'independence of mind' of the inhabitants. This 'independence of mind' was generally diffused through the 'minds of the people'". Lord William Bentick (1804). "Some of the more remarkable of the vegetable and animal productions of the Malabar coast have been known to western nations from times antecedent to the Christian era, and have been the objects of maritime enterprise and commerce through all the succeeding centuries". Willian Logan (1887).
