Q84 (NDA-I/2023) History & Culture › Modern India (Pre-1857) Official Key

At which one of the following places did the Danes establish their settlement in India?

Explanation

The Danish East India Company arrived in India in 1620. They established their first and most significant settlement at Tranquebar (modern-day Tharangambadi) on the Coromandel Coast in Tamil Nadu, following a treaty with the Nayak of Tanjore. Tranquebar served as their headquarters until 1845, when their Indian possessions were sold to the British.

  • Tranquebar: The primary Danish settlement and a center for the first Protestant mission in India.
  • Chinsura: A prominent Dutch settlement in Bengal established in the 17th century.
  • Karaikal and Mahe: These were French settlements, forming part of French India along with Pondicherry and Yanam.

The Danes also established a notable settlement at Serampore in Bengal (1676), which became famous for the Serampore Mission and the first printing press in the region.
