Q) what problems did cotton weavers face when Manchester came India ?
Ans:
• Export market collapsed.
• Local market also shrank as it was flodded with British product.
• Produced by machines at lower cost the imported cotton goods were so cheap that the weavers could not easily compete with them.
• By 1860 weavers could not get sufficient supply of raw cotton of good quality.
• As raw cotton exports from India increased, the price of raw cotton shot up.
• When American civil was broke out & cotton supply from US was cut off, Britain turned towards India.
