Who were the first Europeans to sail to India?
I'll exclude Alexander the Great's brief conquest of parts of NE India as he wasn't able to hold this territory. The first European countries to establish permanent settlements (trading-posts initially) in India from 1500 onwards were the Portuguese. They were followed by the Dutch and French; and the English were relative lateccomers. However, I think it would misleading to speak of any European country 'ruling' India or any really large part of it till the British conquered Bengal in 1757. Joncey
