Masala History by Siva

Culture Shock - the modern European lands in India


Listen Later

As I was reading through the story of Estado da India or Portugese India, I came across very interesting material around how the modern Europeans, who arrived in the Indian Malabar coast via the Oceanic routes, found themselves totally unaware of the Indian culture and customs. I found it fascinating and thought I will share it with all of you.


In today's edition of Masala History by Siva, we will travel back in time to when Vasco da Gama landed his fleet for the first time at Southwest India. Travel with me here on in a platform of your choice (from www.masalahistorybysiva.in , link in bio) to see how the modern European travelers completely fumbled in their first trade mission with this country, all because they didn't understand the culture.
