Letters to the Mughal Empire

The Sultan of the Maldives Ibrahim Iskandar I, was alarmed by the expansion of the English East India Company and the Dutch East India Company in the Indian Ocean and by their staunch interest in cowries and caires (coconut fibre). In the year 1660, pirates and their sloops associated with various European trade groups pillaged various islands ruled by Iskandar, who immediately requested the assistance of the Mughal Faujdar of Balasore,^[1] and even wrote a letter persuading the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb to prohibit the English East India Company and the Dutch East India Company to sail on profitable routes by the Indian coasts. The Maldives however was not directly subjected to the rule of the Mughal Empire.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}}
