Britain import raw materials of cotton for its industries to India (colonies)
EXPLANATION:
- Before the invasion of the British, India was the largest manufacturer of cotton textiles. The Indian cotton textile was well-known for its exquisite craftsmanship and finest quality.
- In the late 18th century, Britain was only procuring merchandise from India to sell them in Europe in order to earn profits from the sale of these merchandises.
- However, after the Industrial revolution and development of cotton industries in Britain, the British started importing raw cotton to be used as raw materials from India for their textile industries in Britain.
- They bought huge quantities of raw cotton at a very low price from India, thus leaving very little cotton for the Indian weavers.
