How manchster came to INDIA? |
| Answer» • As cotton industries developed in England, industrial groups pressurised the government to impose import duties on cotton textiles so that Manchester goods could sell in Britain without competition.• Also, they persuaded the East India Company to sell British manufactures in Indian markets as well.• Thus, cotton weavers in India faced two problems at the same time:→ Their export market collapsed as market overloaded with Manchester imports.→ Availability of lower cost cotton goods produced by machines.• By the end of the nineteenth century, factories in India began production, flooding the market with machine-made goods which created a problem of weavers. | |
