Answer 2

British imperial rule affected India between 1870 and 1900

Explanation:

• In England, the Industrial Revolution produced a significant influence on the Indian economy as it changed the nature and composition of India's international trade. This led to the downfall of Indian handicrafts, though the new factory industry did not expand significantly
• The British ruler's new land system also has had a serious impact on the Indian economy. The company officials levied exorbitant land revenue at exorbitant prices under the reign of the East India Company and thereby realized greater land returns.
• Developing an extensive railway network mainly accelerated agricultural commercialization and, alternately, introduced imported foreign machinery to India. This hardened the machine-made goods competition with Indian handicrafts that culminated in the complete collapse of the Indian handicrafts industry.
• During the British rule Indian economy faced famine too often. Agricultural commercialisation reduced food grain demand by shifting land from food crop farming to non-food crops such as industrial raw materials. The new land system functioned as a built-in depressor as it impeded the agricultural development process.
