Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Trade and commerce commenced when man depended on others in economic matters. It is the earliest economic transaction of human beings, who carried it out by means of barter system till the invention of coins or currency as the medium of transaction. India had commercial relations with other Asian and European countries during the ancient time onwards. The Sangam literature furnishes mine of information about the existence of external commerce with Yavanas. Roman coins found in the Tamil coast proved that Tamil country had maritime relations with European countries and it continued during the modern period. The sources available on the growth of foreign trade throw light at all India level and the sources connected with the Tamils alone are scarce. Thus, I have made an attempt is to study the growth of foreign trade covering the entire regions of India. However, attempts are made to specify the growth of foreign trade of the Tamils wherever it is possible.
