Answer 2

Answer:

There were different kinds of traders in the medieval times, including the banjaras (nomadic people). And traders who travelled a lot came together to form traders' associations or guilds, the most famous ones being Manigramam and Nanadesi. They did this to protect their interests both within the Indian sub-continent and in Southeast Asia and China.

The largest Indian trading groups were the Chettiyars and Marwari Oswal, and Gujarati traders such as Hindu Baniyas and Muslim Bohras.

There was extensive trade with the ports of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, East Africa, Southeast Asia, and China. Indian spices and cloth were exported, and gold, ivory, spices, tin, Chinese blue pottery, and silver were imported.

Many of these products also reached European markets, and this attracted European traders to India. Their arrival once again changed the structure of trading and towns in India.
