Answer 2

THE MAJOR REASON BEHIND THE DECLINE OF COTTON TEXTILE EXPORT FROM INDIA TO BRITAIN IN THE EARLY 19th CENTURY WAS IMPOSITION OF TARIFF ON COTTON IMPORT INTO BRITAIN.

Explanation:1. As England's cotton industries grew, business groups lobbied the government to impose import tariffs on cotton textiles so that Manchester-made goods could sell in the country without competition.

2. At the same time, industrialists convinced the East India Company to sell British goods in the Indian market. Cotton exports from the United Kingdom skyrocketed in the early nineteenth century.

3. The Indian cotton weavers' export market collapsed, and the local market shrank as a result of Manchester imports.

4. Imported cotton goods were inexpensive, and our weavers couldn't compete.

5. When the American Civil War broke out, cotton supplies from the United States were cut off to Britain. As raw cotton export from India increased, the price of raw cotton shot up. Weavers in India were starved of supplies and forced to buy raw cotton at exorbitant prices.
