THE GREAT MAN ARMY

Trade and Diplomacy: The Ottoman Empire and India were part of the broader network of trade routes that connected Europe, Asia, and Africa, such as the Silk Road and the Indian Ocean trade routes. While the Ottomans were not directly involved in the Indian Ocean trade, they had diplomatic and trade relations with various Indian states and empires. Ottoman merchants and traders occasionally ventured into Indian markets, and Indian goods, such as textiles and spices, were traded in Ottoman markets.
