The arrival of Vasco da Gama on the West Coast of India in 1498 ushered in a revolutionary era in the history of South Asia. It ended forever the isolation of the region from other parts of the world, particularly the West, which had been in force for centuries due to the peculiar geographical features of the Indian Ocean. For the first time in the history of the Indian Ocean region a direct link was established with the West and the course of events in this part of the world was to be determined by the developments in the Atlantic.
