Question

Elucidate what problem was happening in the trade front of the Indian Ocean and how the companies dealt with it.​

Answer 1

Long-distance trade in dhows and proas made it a dynamic zone of interaction between peoples, cultures, and civilizations stretching from Southeast to East and South East Africa and East Mediterranean in the West in prehistoric and early historic periods. Cities and states on the Indian Ocean rim focused on both the sea and the land.

Answer 2

The coming of the Portuguese led to the introduction of new companies with corrupt officials who were only interested in benefitting themselves.

The constant resistance between the coastal city states and the Portuguese destabilised the trade.
