what did the British government do to discourage the import of India textiles
Answers
Answer:
The early 18th century marked to be a significant rise in the Indian Textile Industry. The industry flourished to new heights and the products from it were of very high quality. The skill set of the Textile Industry of the country was unmatched.
As the Textile Industry had just started off in England the British faced stiff competition from these Indian Textile Mills, and were unable to compete with them, and took it as a threat to their business.
They protested against the import of Indian Textiles to England as they wanted a secure market for themselves, so that their business could flourish well, which led to discouraging and prohibition of Indian Textiles.

British discourage the import of indian textiles by passing the calico act in 1720, which banned the import of printed cotton cloth into England. This meant that the indian cloth tgat reached englandwas more expensive than the locally produced cloth.
