Surat and machlipatnam developed in the nineteenth century is false

Machlipatnam
developed as an
important port town
in the seventeenth
century. Its importance
declined by the late
eighteenth century as
trade shifted to the
new British ports of
Bombay, Madras and
Calcutta.

Machlipatnam and Surat were de-
urbanised during the nineteenth century. By the early
twentieth century, only 11 per cent of Indians were
living in cities.
