Britishers followed the policy of systematically de-industrialising India. The primary motive behind the de industrialisation by the British government was two fold:-

1) to get raw materials from India at cheap rates in order to reduce India to a mere exporter of raw materials to the British industries.

2) to sell British manufactured goods in Indian market at higher prices.In this way they exploited India through the device of double exploitation.

Answer 2

1. Making India a Supplier of Raw Materials: The main motive of the British government was to make India a mere supplier of cheap raw materials to feed its own flourishing industrial base.

2. Making India a Market for Finished Goods: Another important objective of the British government was to use India as a virgin market to sell the finished goods produced by the British industries.
