What is the correct difference between the roles of western and eastern coasts in India's maritime contacts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western coast linked with West Asia-Africa-Europe and eastern coast with Southeast Asia

The direct answer is A: the western coast linked India with West Asia, Africa and Europe, while the eastern coast linked it strongly with Southeast Asia. Coastlines face different directions, so ports on them naturally supported different maritime connections. The reasoning is: western-facing ports opened routes across the Arabian Sea; eastern-facing ports opened routes across the Bay of Bengal; sailors, merchants, goods and ideas moved along both networks. Option A is correct because it gives the proper directional distinction. Option B reverses the main pattern. Option C is wrong because India’s maritime contacts were not limited to the Arctic. Option D is wrong because both coasts had active historical sea contacts. Exam cue: connect the western coast with the Arabian Sea and western regions, and the eastern coast with the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia.
