Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Machinization:

In Britain, as the Industrial Revolution gained momentum, the manufacturing class became very powerful in England. They now wanted the government to promote the sale of machine-manufactured British goods, especially British textiles. At the same time raw materials were imported from India to feed the growing needs of British industries. Instead of exporting manufactured products, India was now forced to export raw materials like raw cotton and raw silk and plantation products like indigo and tea, or food grains which were in short supply in Britain. Indian markets were soon flooded with cheap, machine-made textiles manufactured in England. Indian hand-made textiles could not compete with the cheap machine-made textiles, leading to the fall of the once well-established cotton and textile industries. India was transformed into a supplier of raw materials and a market for British manufactured goods.

2. Taxes on exported Indian goods:

The British imposed heavy taxes on Indian export products leaving for England. While British goods were exempted from these duties while entering Indian markets, Indian goods entering England were burdened with heavy customs duties. Thus, the self-sufficient economy of India collapsed under the impact of British colonial policies. With the decline of the cotton industry, the towns that had flourished as centres of trade or industry also declined.
