1.	Mention the items that were imported and exported in ancient India. Or In ancient India, which all items were traded in foreign countries?
Answer» In ancient India, the major items that were exported from India were cotton textiles, spices, ivory and ivory made goods, pearls, precious stones, cinnamon, pepper, etc. The import trade of India included silver, copper, coral, wine, datepalms, Arabian horses, slaves etc. India exported ‘glass’ and ‘gold’ to China while importing ‘silk’ and ‘Chinese utensils’ in return and they were sold to the countries of West Asia. The remarkable fact is that Indian traders served as intermediaries between western countries and China.
