Question

any two portuguese and english factories setup in india in 1705

Answer 1

Four hundred years ago, a 

maverick English sea captain

, Thomas Best, sank four Portuguese galleons off the Surat coast with his two ships, Red Dragon and Hosiander. Captain Best and his crew’s exploits in the naval Battle of Swally (corruption of Suvali) on October 28, 1612, impressed the Mughal governor of the province so much that he got them a treaty ratified by Emperor Jahangir, which translated to trading rights. By January 1613, the first 

East India Company factory

 had come up at Surat.


Four centuries later, those early footprints of the 

British Empire

 have been obliterated. There is no sign of the factory — more of a warehouse — save fragments of a wall that once belonged to the sprawling establishment. The ruins are a testimony to our indifference to heritage structures.

Answer 2

The East India Company arrived first at Surat, India in 1608 in the shipHector told by William Hawkins and inside a couple of years had built up a lasting industrial facility there. Surat was the port utilized by the material makers of Gujerat and was the most critical place for the abroad exchange of the Mughal Empire. Anyway the Portuguese previously had exchanging courses of action with the Mughal specialists and matchless quality on the oceans and it would take quite a long while for the English to pick up control. A manufacturing plant was in the long run built up at Surat in 1612 when the Portuguese armada was vanquished by the English.
