What was the twofold motive behind the systematic de-industrialization effected by the British in pre-independence India? |
|
Answer» The primary motive of the colonial government behind the policy of systematic de-industrialization was two-fold: 1. To turn India into a market of finished products of those industries which were established in Britain. 2. To reduce India to a status of a mere exporter of important raw materials for the industries in Britain. |
