Question

What led to the de-industrialization of our country during colonial rule?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cause of de-industrialization in India. It led to a decline in the indigenous cotton industry of the colonies and the domestic activities associated with the production of Indian cotton fell. The fall of the Indian cotton industry is one of the important factors behind the decline of Indian GDP under the British Rule.

The primary motive behind the de-industrialization by the British government was two- fold

(I) to get raw materials from India at cheap rate and thus to reduce India to a mere exporter of raw materials to the British industries

(ii) to sell British manufactured goods in Indian market at higher prices.
