​

Answer 1

Hello mate..

Here Is Your Answer:

From the 1680s, Indian textiles were a craze in England and Europe due to its exquisite designs, superior textures and relative cheapness. Muslin, chintz, bandanna and cossaes were exported in bulk to Europe. There were many other clothes that were known by the place of their origin like clothes from Patna, Orissa, Kasimbazar and Calcutta. Handloom weaving and related occupations became a source of livelihood for millions of Indians. During the 18th century, the textile industry in England was beginning to grow, but faced competition from Indian textiles. Inspired, England started setting up its own textile industries in the eighteenth century. However, the popularity of Indian textiles worried English producers and they protested against the import of cotton textiles from India. In 1720, a law known as the Calico Act was passed to ban the use of chintz in England.

Answer 2

Indian weavers in the Olden days, were able to weave beautiful dresses and silk dress. Many people even from overseas wanted to buy one. When the British colonists were there they introduced cheap mill Cloth. This made drastic effects on the Indian weavers. But even then they also had some defects too. It took a long time to stitch and the importing of it took a long time. Thus when the British introduced mill cloth the Indian weavers became unpopular.
