Question

4:-What was the dramatical change in
Indian industry at the time of the First
World War?​

Answer 1

Till the First World War, industrial growth in India was slow. The war created a dramatically new situation. Manchester imports into India declined due to the war. The British factories became busy with producing things needed for the army. Indian mills now suddenly had a large market to supply. The long war made the Indian factories supply them with jute bags, cloth for army uniforms, tents and leather boots, horse and mule saddles, and a host of other items. Many workers were employed for longer hours.

After the war Manchester goods lost their hold on the Indian markets. British economy collapsed as it could not compete with the USA, Japan, and its European rivals. The Indian industrialists captured the local market. Small scale industries prospered.

Answer 2

Answer:

This led to the decline of imports from Manchester. This created a void in the Indian markets which was filled by the Indian industries. During the war, Indian industries also had to supply goods to the army. They mostly supplied jute bags, cloth for making army uniforms, leather boots and saddles.
