How did the British rule affect the Indian textile industry ? |
|
Answer» Before the British came to India, and before the Industrial Revolution, Indian textiles were in great demand throughout the world. The British rule changed India’s status in the world economy. (i) Mill-made manufactures swept the Indian markets. Mill-made fabrics were more durable and smooth with a better finish. These were cheaply priced also. (ii) Indian Peasants were forced to cultivate these crops that were required by British manufacturers. |
