Hi, I've been doing some research for a piece of fiction I am writing and I need to find a band of Indian pirates in the 17th - 18th centuries. I read the wiki page for Kanhoji Angre but I like to know about his sons and grandchildren who carried on his legacy. However upon doing further research I hit a dead end with a load of books that are out of print and some event called the "Siege of Gheria".
Please help me as I am a sucker for historical accuracy and I don't want to make up some privateers when this interesting and unheard of piece history exists.
Just to clarify, you want research on 17th and 18th century pirates of Indian descent (and not the European descended crews that came over). Or are you interested in pirates that sailed in the Indian Ocean in general? I assume the former, and if that's the case, I've seen a few very sparse nods to their existence, but seldom expanded on. The European descended crews on the other hand have much more attention.
