Answer 2

Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true

• While raw materials from the country were made duty-free, the British government placed high charges on the exporting of traditional goods.
• Indian imports of British goods were likewise duty-free.
• Due to the high tariffs, Indian exports were more expensive, and their demand on the global market severely decreased.
• They obtained Indian raw resources at low prices from them, turning India into a simple industrial input to the British businesses.
• The fierce challenge from their machine-produced textiles in local markets also reduced the demand for handcrafted items.
• As a result, the Indian handicraft industry saw a significant decline during the colonial administration.
• Therefore, Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true
