Explanation:
Though India had maintained some sort of a contact with the Western world both during the ancient and medieval times, a direct naval contact with the Western world was established only in 1498 when Vasco da Gama sailed round the west coast of, Africa, crossed the Arabian sea and reached Calicut.
The event was a turning point in the history of India and marked the dawn of the modern era. Though the Portuguese did not establish any territorial empire in India and they possessed only some trading ports on the west-coast, they came to dominate trade and commerce with India.
It may be noted that before the advent of the Portuguese the seaborne trade between India and the West was in the hands of the Arabs. The Portuguese not only asserted their naval superiority by overthrowing the Arabs but also conquered large territories in India.
The Portuguese came to Kerala as the first Europeans. We were also the first foreign power in India to seize governance. Portuguese arrival was the outcome of the numerous journeys that Europeans undertook to find new markets for their products since the 14th century and to acquire new raw materials and products that were useful to them.
EXPLANATION:
While India had maintained some kind of contact with the western world both in the old and medieval times, it was only in 1498 when Vasco Da Gama sailed along the West Coast of Africa, passing over the Arab sea and coming to Calicut that direct naval contact was established with the Western world. This event marked the dawn of the modern era and was a turning point in India's history. While the Portuguese had established no territorial empire in India and had only a few trading ports on the west coast, trade and trade with India were dominated. It is worth noting that maritime trade between India and the West had been with the Arabs prior to the arrival of the Portuguese. Not only by overthrowing the Arabs, but by conquering large territories in India, the Portuguese affirmed their naval superiority. Francisco D ' Almeida was appointed governor of the territories in India in 1505. The Portuguese concentrated in Goa in the next few years and trade with the neighboring Kingdom of Vijayanagar was extensive. Afterwards, in Diu and Daman, the Portuguese established their foot.
The Portuguese expansion in India was not all smooth and at least two rivals had to face. First of all, the Netherlands East India Company carried out a survey of the maritime trade in the Indian Ocean of Portuguese. The through Marathas were in the mainland to prevent Portuguese development. The Marathas gave the Portuguese Empire a severe blow to the north of Goa by defeating them at Thana and seizing their hold on Bassein. The arrival of the British was also a check to increase Portuguese influence. Therefore, because of their overenthusiasm for the cause of Christianity, the Portuguese failed to gain the sympathy of the Indians. As a result, Portugal's influence in India inevitably decreased. It is however impossible to deny the enormous social, economic or cultural influence exercised by the Portuguese, especially on the west coasts.
Portugal's vocabulary and medical studies were greatly enriched. A Portuguese scholar Garcia da Orta wrote the first treatise on medicinal plants in India. Similarly, other important contributions from the Portuguese were the introduction of prints and the establishment of seminaries for the education of the Indian priests. In the Ecclesial Architecture of India, particularly in the Deccan, the Portuguese influence is also evident. The Portuguese also pay tribute to popularizing the ornate manual architecture in the west coast. On an economic level, the Portuguese ensured the Indian products–especially spices and muslin–on a good world market. The Indian trade grew to an unprecedented scale with the western world. India and China also imported goods from Europe. The biggest trade with Persia continued and supplied the Kingdom of Vijayanagar with horses in large numbers.
