Explanation

Vasco da Gama landed at Kozhikode (Calicut) in Kerala in 1498, marking the first direct sea voyage from Europe to India. This opened the sea route to India and established Portuguese presence. Goa was captured by Portugal in 1510 (after Vasco da Gama), while Surat became important later under British and Dutch influence.
