What were the reasons for the insecurity of traders and the trading routes? |
|
Answer» In Ancient time, traders felt uncomfortable and insecure while travelling on various routes because they feared dacoits and that is why most of the traders used to move in caravans. In the post Gupta period, A Chinese traveller Yuvan – Chewing was robbed twice. Not only thieves and dacoits, but even the knights used to plunder the caravan of the traders. Virtual Charit also mentions the reference of such instances of plundering of a caravan by ‘Guggul Mandelic’. That was the reason why traders used to sell their articles at the price three or four times higher than the purchased price. |
