Explanation:
The industrial revolution began with the birth of textile manufacturing in England. Since India was under the imperial control of Britain, Indian farmers (as well as farmers all across the British empire) were forced to grow cotton to fuel the English factories. Since the Indian farmers were forced to grow cotton as well as other cash crops vital to British interests (opium, rice, wheat & indigo) instead of food for domestic consumption the country was gripped by numerous extremely deadly famines from 1770 to 1900.
