True is ur answer.....

Answer 2

SURAT WAS THE PORT CITY

Explanation:

• By the end of the eighteenth century, the port of Surat declined because the European companies were gradually gaining strength over Trade in India.

• They got several concessions from local Indian rulers as well as the monopoly rights to trade.  

• These circumstances led to a decline of the old ports of Surat and Hoogly from where local merchants had operated.

• As European companies did not want to use the old ports of Surat, Masulipatnam, and Hooghly, etc., instead they preferred Bombay.

• This caused Exports slow down and local banks went bankrupt.

Hence it is true that, Surat  played an important role in the 18th century decline.
