Detailed Solution

The given statement is False. A vibrant sea trade did operate through Surat and Masulipatam but in the pre-colonial times. By the 1780s, the British had already started seizing power from the local rulers. Finally, the war led to a decline in the ports operated by the local Indians, like Surat on the Gujarat coast, Masulipatam on the Coromandel coast, and Hooghly in Bengal. In their place, European companies controlled new trading ports like Bombay and Calcutta. Hence the correct statement would be, A vibrant sea trade operated through Surat and Masulipatam not in the 1780s.
