deeper analysis of the complexities that the region and its society harnessed through centuries old maritime linkages with various groups. A systematic analysis of the communities of Indian Ocean who possess diverse ethnologies and different cultures could not be complete without implying various methods of ethnography, history, and sociology and etc. rather than merely depending on historical tools.
