The arrival of Europeans influenced the Indians in several different ways. Indians are exposed to new experiences such as illness, religion, racial discrimination, land ownership, trade. With the arrival of settlers in Europe, the way of life in India has changed completely. As early as 1550, European fishermen caused illness during the winter on New England coast. The fishermen brought devastating illness, and the Indians hardly resisted diphtheria, cholera, typhoid, measles, and small pox. Coastal Indians first infected these foods and then spread to the Mediterranean Indians. These diseases are devastating and kill many Indians.
