Detailed Solution

Mullah Abdul Ghafur and Virji Vora are the names of Indian traders who were forced to work for European companies.
Spices and textiles became popular in West Asia, Africa, and Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Europeans- the English, Dutch, and French- formed East India companies to expand commercial activities in the eastern world. Great Indian traders like Mullah Abdul Ghafur and Virji Vora, who owned many ships, were there to compete. Europeans had the bigger naval power, which they efficiently used to gain control of the sea and forced Indian traders to work as their agents. The English East India Company emerged as the most successful political and commercial power.
