    Write a paragraph on domestic and foreign trade during the medieval period.

    Answer:

    During the early medieval period India became a hub for foreign trade. Indian exports consisted mainly of manufactured articles, with cotton cloth being the most important item due to its great demand. Indigo, salt peter, spices, opium, sugar, yarn, salt, beads, borax, lac, sealing wax, and drugs of various kinds were also exported. Silks, gold-embroidered exquisitely designed clay pots and pans, guns, knives, oils, ivory, sandalwood, diamonds and other precious gems were the other prime articles of export. The principal imports were horses, and luxury goods like raw silk, glassware, coral, amber, precious stones, superior textiles, perfumes, drugs, and European wines. From China raw silk and porcelain were imported.
