Economic Dimension of Marketing and Trade Centre in Ancient India

Abstract

India's economic history starts with a civilization in the Indus Valley (3300-1300 BCE), which seems to rely significantly on trade and examples of foreign trade. The Vedic era saw the exchange of countless units of precious metal. In this context, the word Nishka is used in the Rigveda. Historically, for much of the next three centuries, India was the world's biggest economy, starting about the 1st millennium before ECB and ending at the dawn of British rule in India. The Mahajanapadas minted silver punched coins around 600 BCE. Intensive trade and urban growth characterised the period. By 300 B.C., the Maurya Empire brought together much of the Indian subcontinent except the three Crowned Kings, Tamilakam. This political stability and military security resulted in the establishment of a
common economic structure and increased trade and trade, with higher productivity.
