Portuguese
💡 Explanation:
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in India as traders during the Mughal period, with Vasco da Gama reaching Calicut in 1498. The Dutch, English, and Danish arrived later in the 17th century. This predates the Mughal era's peak but marks the beginning of European trade.
