Question

Gave any two reasons of decline of local crafts in india.

Answer 1

Answer:

I hope it helps :)

Explanation:

• This was mainly due to the competition posed by the machine made goods that were imported from Britain. The ability of mass production of goods helped Britain to flood the Indian markets with cheap products especially cotton textiles since local crafts were expensive for the people to buy.

• The policy of free trade followed by the East India Company helped them to dictate terms of trade. They compelled the Indian craftsmen to sell their goods below market price and they hired their services at below the prevailing wages.
