In the seventeenth century, the Indian trading classes were large in
number, spread out all over the country, well-organised and highly
professional. Some specialised in long-distance, inter-regional trade, and
some in local, retail trade. The former were called seth, bohra or modi,
while the latter were called beoparies or baniks. In addition to retailing
goods, the baniks had their own agents in the villages and townships, with
whose help they purchased foodgrains and cash crops. There was a special
class of traders, the banjaras who specialised in carrying bulk goods. The
banjaras used to move over long distances, sometime with thousands of
oxen carrying foodgrains, pulses, ghee, salt, etc. But it was cheaper to move
bulk goods through rivers on boats. Boat traffic on waterways, and coastal
trade along the seashore was more highly developed than now. Foodstuff
and a wide range of textile products were the most important components
of inter-regional trade during the period. Movement of goods was also
facilitated by the growth of a financial system which permitted easy
transmission of money from one part of the country to another.
