Answer 1

Answer:

After the Battle of Plassey in 1757 the company used its political power to destroy the Indian handicraft industry and promote British industries. The Indian weavers were forced to sell their products to the Company at very low prices. To add to their miseries they were compelled to buy interior raw cotton at high prices from the Company officials who bought it from the Indian farmers at low rates. b With the establishment and expansion of the British empire in India the royal courts and the nobility of the ruling dynasties including the Mughals collapsed one by one. The craftspersons and artisans were deprived of royal patronage and Indian handicrafts suffered a severe setback. c The British government also obstructed the growth of modern Indian industries to keep the country underdeveloped and economically backward. Almost everything of daily use like needles pins sewing machines thread soaps biscuits cycles medicines paper etc. were imported from England.
