Question

Which group was not found in large numbers in Gujarat before the arrival of Europeans?

a) Arab traders
b) Persian merchants
c) Chinese immigrants
d) Indian artisans

Answer 1

Chinese immigrants were not found in large numbers in Gujarat before the arrival of Europeans, unlike Arab traders, Persian merchants, and Indian artisans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The group that was not found in large numbers in Gujarat before the arrival of Europeans was Chinese immigrants. Gujarat was a region known for its significant trade and was home to a diverse population, including Arab traders, Persian merchants, and Indian artisans. There were also communities of Pensaris and Jews, but there is no substantial historic record of a significant presence of Chinese immigrant communities in Gujarat prior to European arrival.
