India was the largest producer of cotton textiles when the British gained power in Bengal around 1750.
Indian textile was famous for its quality and craftsmanship. Chintz, cossaes orkhassa and bandanna were the different types of cotton cloths imported. The wealthy people of England, including the Queen herself, wore clothes made in India.
The Calico Act, enacted in 1720, was advantageous to the English producers as the use of chintz was banned in England.
The development of cotton Industries in Britain affected textile producers in India.
By the beginning of the 19th century, Indian goods were ousted from their traditional markets in Africa, America and Europe. Thousands of spinners and weavers lost their livelihood in India.
New centres of weaving like Sholapur in western India and Madura in South India emerged in India.
The first cotton mill came up in India in 1854 in Bombay.
