The discovery of the sea route to India is the description sometimes used in Europe and among the Portuguese for the first recorded trip made directly from Europe to India via the Atlantic Ocean.[citation needed]It was undertaken under the command of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama during the reign of King Manuel I in 1497 -1499. Considered by Europe to be one of the most remarkable voyages of the Age of Discovery, it consolidated the Portuguese maritime presence over the Indian Ocean and that country's dominance of global trade routes.

Vasco Da Gama discovered the the sea route to India in 1493.
The discovery of a trade route between the East and the west brought the ideas of India to Europe and the people began to reason than to have blind Faith. Also,the people of the West came into contact with the people of the East.
This movement is recorded as the Renaissance.
