tough question. the way i interpret is that your question is on medieval trade between the east and the west. or it can mean that you want to know about the internal politics that lead to the european countries to race to capture eastern trade routes. the east-india trade era in a sense really began after the fall of the mughals, when the british were able to get a stronghold in india. perhaps you can be a little more specific about what exactly you want to know about, because the answer possibilties to your question are nearly endless!
