History of bms in breaking strike of working class in india
Answers
Explanation:
Origins (Before 1840)
-The country had primarily agricultural economy; peasants and artisans --the latter produced all the goods needed locally.
-With British consolidation in India, after 1800, the British industrial revolution needed raw materials for their industry and markets for their products. Like other colonies controlled by the British, India
became a major supplier of raw materials like cotton, coal, jute, etc. It also became a major market for British products, textiles and clothes in particular.
-This resulted in severe exploitation of the peasantry so that cheap raw material (like cotton) could be exported to England.
-This also resulted in large-scale displacement of artisans. British factory-made goods came to India and artisans became unemployed. They fell back to land, as there were not enough industrial jobs available then. The pressure on land grew, unemployment increased, and the artisans lost all their skill and expertise. Indian cottage industry was thus completely destroyed.
Early Industria1isation ( 1840-1900) : Emergency of Indian Working Class
-Industrialisation in India started in mid-nineteenth century. British tea companies came in Assam by 1839; Bengal Coal Company started in 1843; first cotton mill in Bombay and jute mill in Calcutta started in 1854.
-The first two organised industries were jute and cotton; tea plantation became other major labour employment centres.
