Answer:
The development of cotton industries in Britain affected the textile producers in India in various ways. The cheaper machine made textiles of England was competiting with Indian textiles. High import duties in England made it difficult to export textiles from India. The cotton textiles of the British destroyed the export of Indian textiles to their traditional markets in Africa, America and Europe.
