I mean obviously not india as it is now, but there were and had been kingdoms there for well over 1500 years.
And also you went there because of the massive trade that we had. At one point almost all the gold in Europe came from India. You also wanted cinnamon and other spices. There was more wealth leaving the west coast of India than most of Europe had experienced
