Question

how did the industrial revolution in britain lead to de industrialization in 19th century in india​

Answer 1

Answer:

When Industrial revolution took place in Britain, the cheap machine made cloth was exported to colonies for sale,including India. Cheap Machine made goods from Britain increased competition in the Indian market, causing many weavers to quit weaving as it became an unprofitable business.

However, this all changed after the start of the first world war. English factories began to cater to their own war needs, reducing exports to colonies drastically.Suddenly, the Indian entrepreneurs found a vast home market to supply to. They began setting up factories and hiring workers.The prolonged first world war even brought the Indian factories the opportunity to cater war needs, and thus the Indian Industries developed.
