Europeans in India
Sequence of an establishment of European Companies
1. Portuguese (1498)
2. English East India Company (1600)
3. Dutch East India Company (1602)
4. Danish East India Company (1616)
5. French East India Company (1664)
Why Europeans came to India?
Trade in Agro-based product like Cotton and handicrafts was the major reason which led to the advent of Europeans.
India was the major source of the spices. Some spices have antibiotic properties and they were also used to preserve the food.
Sea routes were discovered in order to reduce conflicts, taxation etc. which were generally faced during land-based journey.
1. Portuguese in India
The Portuguese came to India to Trade and they wanted to take away the spice trade from the Arab traders. They even resorted to piracy in order to capture the spice trade.
Francis de Almeida was the first governor of the Portuguese in India. Later, in 1509 Albuquerque became the governor.
Albuquerque captured Goa from the ruler of Bijapur in 1510. Subsequently, Goa became the capital of the Portuguese settlements in India.
Portuguese influence declined in India by the end of the 16th century as naval and commercial powers of the France, English and Dutch had given a strong competition to Portuguese and Spanish trade monopoly.
Around 17th century they had lost all their possessions in India except Goa, Diu and Daman as the Marathas captured Salsette and Bassein in 1739.
Portuguese lived for temporary periods in the settlements and then returned to Portugal.
Portuguese were intolerant of the existing religions of India and tried to force people to become Christian.
