Book Description:
|
The earliest trade between India and other cultures took place through both overland and sea routes. The end of the Silk Road inspired the European "Age of Discovery" in which explorers attempted to find new ways to reach India. India's gems, raw materials, and handmade goods were an alluring prospect to these explorers. Trade Routes to India provides an in-depth look at the politics, economic factors, technology, and people behind what ultimately became the race to the New World.
