The Indian spice trade is a fascinating and complex phenomenon with a long and varied history. For centuries, spices have been a source of wealth and a symbol of power, with traders travelling vast distances to bring their wares to faraway markets. This book, Aromas of India: A Historical and Cultural Overview of India's Spice Trade, seeks to explore the history, culture, and significance of the Indian spice trade.

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the rich history and culture of the Indian spice trade for readers who are new to the subject. It explores the ancient spice routes, the spice trade in the Roman era, and the medieval spice trade. It also examines India's role as the nexus of international trade, the significance of spices, the Portuguese exploration of India, the rise of globalisation, and the impact of climate change on the Indian spice trade.
