The history of the economic contacts between Asia and Europe dates
back to at least the early years of the Common Era. But it was only
after the overcoming of the transport technology barrier to the
growth of trade between the two continents following the discovery
by the Portuguese at the end of the 15th century of the all-water
route to the East Indies that these contacts became regular and
quantitatively significant. The Portuguese were joined at the
beginning of the 17th century by the Dutch and the English East
India companies. The Europeans operated in the Indian Ocean
alongside the Indian and other Asian merchants with no special
privileges being available to them. The present collection of
essays by Professor Om Prakash first deals with the Indian
merchants' participation in the Indian Ocean trade on the eve of
the Europeans' arrival in the Ocean. The subsequent essays include
a discussion of the Portuguese involvement in the Euro-Asian and
the Indian Ocean trade. Attention is then turned to the trading
activities of the Dutch and the English East India companies. The
volume also contains essays on textile manufacturing and trade as
well as on coinage and wages in India. The concluding essay deals
with trade and politics in the province of Bengal.
