What was the condition of trade and commerce in the moriyan era?
Answers
Explanation:
●The post-Mauryan economy was based on the growth of agriculture, internal and long distance trade and on crafts and arts.
●The most important development of the period was the flourishing trade between India and the Western world.
Improved internal communication system under the Mauryas was responsible for the growth of trade and commerce in the post-Mauryan phase.
●Land routes to South India developed during this period along the river valleys and the coasts and routes through mountain passes that helped trade and commerce. A landmark in the growth of external trade and commerce was the discovery of the monsoon winds by the Greek sailor Hippolus in around AD 46—47.
●This made possible, navigation across the Arabian Sea, by reducing the distance between Indian and west Asian ports. The invasions of the Indo-Greeks, Kushans and the Sakas increased and deepened contacts between India and western and central Asia. Central Asia acted as a link between China and India as Indian merchants acted as intermediaries in the silk trade of China. While the merchants of north-western India mostly traded with western and central Asia and China, the merchants of western and southern India concentrated on South Arabia, the Red Sea and Alexandria, which handled the bulk of the Roman trade.
