Answer:
The First Industrial Revolution in Britain (1760-1830) focused on a variety of subjects - the steam engines, metallurgical advancements, canal system development and developments in the textile industries. In this answer, we are going to have a look at its textile and related industrial developments or the discouragement of the Indian textile industry, both are synonymous.
The EIC was depended heavily on Indian raw materials. Therefore, for the development of its textile industry, it again turned to India's raw materials. Indian lands, abundant in high-quality cotton, jute, and wool production, also had a huge demand for finished goods in the International markets. Its very fine quality Muslin was highly demanded in international markets.
These finished goods posed a great challenge to its rival, namely Britain.
Thus, for the development of its Textile Industries, the dual objectives on which the Britishers fought the Indian goods were:
a. to exhaust Indian raw materials to feed its own monstrous industries; and,
b. to give them a tough competition by introducing British goods at a lower price in the International market.
This harmed the Indian textile industry and also discouraged small weavers, local handloom industries, etc. in India.
The British destroyed the Indian textile industries through various measures, some of them were:
a. imposing high taxes on the import of Indian goods making it difficult for the traders in India to launch their products internationally;
b. British launched their goods at cheaper values in International markets, making it difficult for Indian traders to compete them.
The Indian weavers had no choice but to quit and look out for other professions and rely on British goods completely.
The Indian textiles were only able to get into the race again when British Industries exhausted in the WWI.
