Question

what was the important contribution of the Dutch to India ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dutch India consisted of the settlements and trading posts of the Dutch East India Company on the Indian subcontinent. It is only used as a geographical definition, as there has never been a political authority ruling all Dutch India. Instead, Dutch India was divided into the governorates Dutch Ceylon and Dutch Coromandel, the commandment Dutch Malabar, and the directorates Dutch Bengal and Dutch Suratte.

The Dutch Indies, on the other hand, were the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia) and the Dutch West Indies (present-day Suriname and the former Netherlands Antilles).

➡The major Indian commodities traded by the Dutch were cotton, indigo, silk, rice and opium.

➡The Dutch, during their stay in India, tried their hands on the minting of coinages. As their trade flourished they established mints at Cochin, Masulipattam, Nagapatam Pondicherry and Pulicat.

➡In India, Dutch established their first factory in Masulipattanam in 1605. Later on, they had set factories at many places like at Surat in 1616, at Bimilipatam in 1641, and Chinsura in 1653.
