Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

"During the 1800s, the value of rupee plummeted and this is when India experienced a huge boot in its export to the British. In the earliest days, various precious, semi-precious metals, stones, aromatic products, silk, textiles and gold were traded. When the East India Company imposed colonial rule on India a new pattern of trade emerged, for instance:

• Britain ceased the import of cotton from Indian states and rather imported these cottons to be woven and spun in the industrial mills

• Timber and jute were a monopoly of the market commonly traded to the British.
