Question

what are the reasons for declination of trade of Indian traders​

Answer 1

Explanation:

India carried on some commerce with China and Southeast Asia, but its benefits were reaped by the Arabs who acted as middlemen.In the feudal set-up, horse trade became more important because of military needs. In the sixth century, horses from Persia were imported, and traders did not have to pay custom duties. Before the rise of Islam, the Arabs had virtually monopolized India’s export trade.
