Cotton and metals were the most dynamic industries in Britain. During the first phase of industrialization.
At the end of the nineteenth century, less than 20% of total workforce was employed in technologically advanced industrial sectors. This shows that the traditional industry could not be displaced by the new industries.
The cotton or metal industries could not set the change of pace in the traditional industries. But the traditional industries experienced many changes which were brought by small and apparently ordinary innovations.
Machine-made goods were standardized and could not match the high quality finish of hand-made goods. The people from the upper classes preferred things produced by hand.

With the coming up of industrialisation, Indian workers faced alot of problems-
There was too much of imports of cotton textiles from Manchester and therefore, the export market collapsed and the local market shrank to large extent.
Since, the imported cotton goods were produced by machines at a lower cost , they were very cheap and therefore demanded. The work of the Indian workers declined and therefore they lived in desolation.
By 1860s, the Indian workers could not get sufficient supply of raw cotton of good quality. Life of the Indian workers became miserable and it became very difficult for them to survive.
