Abstract
The trade relationship between the sub-continent and the Arab world from the time of the rise of Islam up to about the fall of Baghdad can be termed as the golden age. During the period under review, their seems to have been flourishing trade in precious stones, diamonds, pearls, dates, ivory, peeper, fine muslin, cotton cloth, various types of fruits and different birds and animals. The goods exported from the subcontinent were costlier and more valuable than those imported. This paper delineates the development of commercial relations between the Arabs and the sub-continent in the historical perspective.
