Industrial Revolution in India
Pre-Colonial Industrial India-
Before the British Rule, India known for its handicraft industry. In the whole world, the Indian Industry was in demand. Various articles like wool, cotton, silk were famous inside and outside the country. Industries are also famous for the good quality of jewellery made of gold and silver, brass and bell-metal. In those days carving work in ivory, wood, stone, and marble of India was in demand. India was known for its export and no other country at that time produced such types of products that can be exchanged with Indian products. Because of this Europe paid a large amount of money for purchasing those products. So, India is known for its richness and established a well stable position in the world map.
Indian Industrialization under British Rule-
The traditional industry of India was in high demand. Then Britishers put their steps toward India on one side and on another side in England passed two Acts in 1700 and in 1720 to restrict on import of India cotton, silk, and other trade items by imposing heavy duties but these measures did not give the desired result. After a long struggle, the British won two important wars (1) Battle of Plassey (2) Battle of Buxar.
And after these wars, foreign rule started in India then the phase of the deindustrialization of India started. The motive behind deindustrialization was to make India an exporter of raw materials and to sell British products at higher rates in the Indian market. They followed Discriminatory tariff polls. Their primary objective was to develop the Indian industry in such a way so they never compete with British Industry and always dependent on British capital goods.
After 1850 new phase of India started because a large scale private industry of jute, cotton, and silk established. The first jute industry started at Hooghly Valley at Kolkata in 1854. To transport the goods easily from one place to another Railway started in India. First Rail starts from Bombay to Thane in 1854. Then Britishers tried to establish the iron and steel industry in 19thcentury which was set up in 1907 and the credit went to Jamshedji Tata and his son Dorabji. The progress of India was increased day by day. The total number of factories increased from 2936 in 1914 to 11,613 in 1939 and the number of workers engaged in them increased from 9,50,000 lakhs to 17,50,000 lakhs.
