Question

how did Masulipatnam lost its properity andimportance in the 18th century?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

It lost its importance because of wars, natural calamities and pestilence. In 1648-49, the East India Company sanctioned some money for the development of Machilipatnam port. It was just half of what was sanctioned for developing the port at Madras and signalled a period of decline for the Machilipatnam port.
