How did the Portuguese rule came to an end (in Bengal) ? |
|
Answer» Within just 100 years, the Portuguese had taken control over Mangalore, Cochin, Diu, Daman, Goa, Mumbai and the island of Lanka. Then, in the beginning of the 17th century, the Portuguese expanded their trade to bay of Bengal. The Subedar of Bengal complained about Portuguese activities to the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan who ruled India from Delhi. As per the Emperor’s orders Hugh fort was demolished and Portuguese ships were burnt. In this way the Portuguese rule came to an end (in Bengal) with the exception of Diu, Daman and Goa. |
