Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Europeans came to India in pursuit of the ideal trading location. They were overwhelmingly British. The British formed the East India Company to advance trade once they arrived in India. Because there was an abundance of inexpensive, high-quality silk and cotton in India, all the European commercial businesses were drawn there. There were also seasonings like cardamom, pepper, and cloves present. In India, spices were in plentiful supply, and they were in high demand in European markets. They could purchase them from India by paying tiny sums to sell the raw materials in their country's market.
The correct statement would be That spices like pepper and cardamom were in demand in Britain.
