Question

Europeans felt the need to discover a new sea-route to India.explain the statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

Europeans felt the need to preserve their meat long ago. Thus they started trading pepper from India long ago. Soon they started trading other spices from India.But Constantinople was blocked which is the only(atleast then) land route to India. Thus Europeans are in dire need to find an alternate route(sea route as there is no technology then in Europe for an aircraft)to India especially for pepper which will ensure food security of European kingdoms. Further their lust for spices made Indians to be colonised. Even after independence we could not come out of the colonised mindset in educational policies which again gives a colonised generation. We are in dire need to change our educational policies which would free our future generation from being colonised. Thank you.

Explanation:

Answer 2

European merchants had previously travelled by land to Asia. Nevertheless, this trade route for European merchants was almost blocked after the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. Christian high fees were charged by the Ottoman Turks to cross the route. In fact, owing to the marauding bands of the Mongols and Tatar, the route was also dangerous. The European people therefore thought that new ways to India were required

EXPLANATION:

• The Europeans knew the wealth from the trade that India created with Greece and Rome since ancient times. Indian traders used to transport Indian goods to European markets via Afghanistan, Persia, Arabia, Egypt and Turkey, with much difficulty.  
• Europeans made efforts to discover the sea route to India to facilitate trade with India. Some businessmen used to transport Indian goods through the Red Sea, Arab Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Mediterranean to European markets. On 20 May 1498 in what is now Kozhikode, India, Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama landed.
• Da Gama was the first European to reach India's lucrative commercial centers by sea. There began a new chapter in India's history. Traders from Europe began to travel to India. Supremacy for trade competition between the European Community has begun to grow on Indian soil. Of the Europeans the French, the Dutch, the British, the Portuguese, and the Spanish marched in India for their trade dominance.
