Answers
Answer:
A.1:- Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment, value of output and capital invested. The textile industry was also the first to use modern production methods.
A.2:- Once a thriving market, Surat began to decline towards the end of the seventeenth century. Examine which factors helped it become a major trade city and why it started to decline.
A.3:- In a debate at the Oxford Union Society on May 28, Shashi Tharoor, Congress member of Parliament, made a case for the British paying reparations to India for the many ills caused by colonialism, among which deindustrialisation was a major consequence.
Deindustrialisation between 1750 and 1900 stifled India’s nascent industry. It made India a supplier of raw materials to Britain and a market for its goods, following the latter’s industrial revolution. As industry suffered, labour fell back onto agriculture.
Deindustrialisation, however, is complex and contradictory, and saw various phases. The word entered the political lexicon in the early 20th century when nationalist historians and politicians such as Romesh Chunder Dutt and Dadabhai Naoroji mentioned it, as did Jawaharlal Nehru in his Discovery of India.
The facts are indisputable: for instance, India had 25 percent of world industrial output in 1750, and this dwindled to two percent in 1900. What constituted industrial output at that time was different from now: luxury goods: fine cottons and silks, jewellery and brassware. It also included spices and saltpetre. In fact, raw cotton of the kind produced in India, didn’t find much favour in international markets.
A.4:- The process of de-industrialisation is an economic change in which employment in the manufacturing decline due to various economic or political reasons.[14] The decline in employment in manufacturing is also followed by the fall in the share of manufacturing value added in GDP. The process of de-industrialisation can be due to development and growth in the economy and it can also occur due to political factors. In other words, the term de-industrialisation means a general reduction in the industrial capacity and came into prevalence in India with the destruction of the handicrafts industry by external competition from British manufactured products during the 19th century.

Answer:
Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment, value of output and capital invested. The textile industry was also the first to use modern production methods
Once a thriving market, Surat began to decline towards the end of the seventeenth century.
the British purchased raw materials from India at low rates and sold them at very high prices in Europe this led to exploitation of the farmers and huge profits for the Britishers
For a few decades in the 19th century British manufactured goods dominated world trade. Most mass manufactured items were produced more efficiently and competitively in Britain than elsewhere. ... No other country could at first compete so Britain became the workshop of the world.
Indian cotton textiles were the most important manufactured goods in world trade in the 18th century, consumed across the world from the Americas to Japan. The most important center of cotton production was the Bengal Subah province, particularly around its capital city of Dhaka.
