Why was Surat port declined by the end of 18th century?
By the end of the 18th century, Surat port declined due to several factors, including the rise of rival ports like Bombay, which offered better facilities and deeper waters. The political instability in the region, exacerbated by the decline of the Mughal Empire, also affected trade and security. Additionally, changes in trade routes and the growing dominance of European powers in the region shifted commercial activities away from Surat. These factors collectively diminished Surat's prominence as a major trading hub.
