How does industrialisation affected India.?? |
| Answer» With the industrialisation, many mills such as cotton and jute mills were setup. From the late 18th century, the British in India began exporting opium to China and took tea from China to England. The European merchant industrialists had their own chambers of commerce which India businessmen were not allowed to join.With the expansion of factories, the demand for workers increased. Peasants, artisans, who found no work in the village went to industrial centres for work. Getting jobs was difficult so many industrialists mostly employed a jobber. During the First world war, British mills became busy in the production of uniform for the army. Due to technological changes, the weavers started using looms with a fly shuttle which increased productivity per worker, speeded up production and reduced labour demand. | |
