Answer 1

Answer:

A series of charge affected the pattern of industrialization in India by the early twentieth century. This statement can be analyzed by the following points:

1.With the spread of the Swadeshi movement, the nationalists encouraged the people to boycott foreign clothes and other materials.

2. The export of yarn from India to China had declined from 1906. India shifted from yarn to cloth production.

3. During the First world war, the British industries were busy in producing war-related goods.The exports of goods to India declined. This gave a good opportunity to Indian industries to develop.

4. In the later stages of the war, the Indian industries were asked to produce goods such as uniform, tent, horse and mule saddle, boots, etc. This led to the setting up of new industries.

5. Gradually, the Indian industrialists developed and the Britsih industries declined. The handicraft industry also expanded during this period.
