Who pioneered India - America Trade Relation?

A Meta AI's copy.Sub: Ramdulal Dey/Deb.

Ramdulal Dey was indeed a pioneer in India-American trade relations. Born in 1752 in a poor family near Dumdum, he rose to become one of the richest merchants in Bengal through his honesty, determination, and hard work. He started his career as a bill clerk for Madanmohan Dutt, a prominent merchant, and eventually became a ship merchant, trading with America.

*Key Contributions:*

- *Primary Agent for American Merchants*: Ramdulal Dey was the primary agent for many American merchant houses in Salem, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, facilitating trade between India and America.
- *Boosted Indo-American Trade*: His business acumen and integrity helped increase trade between the two nations, with American ships frequently visiting Calcutta to purchase Bengal goods like textiles, tea, and indigo.
- *Trusted Partner*: American merchants trusted him so much that they dispensed with European agents in Bengal, relying solely on Ramdulal Dey's expertise and network.
- *Honored by Americans*: In appreciation of his services, American merchants presented him with a life-size portrait of George Washington, and one of their ships was even named "Ramdoolal Day" in his honor ¹ ² ³.

Overall, Ramdulal Dey played a significant role in establishing and strengthening trade relations between India and America in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
