When the British first came to India to do business cotton clothing was great in demand in the whole world as Indian textile

Explanation:

• India was around 1750 the largest cotton cloth manufacturer in the world. European businessmen started to buy Indian textiles for sale in Europe in the 16th century
• In the western market Indian textiles were famous under different names such as mislim, calico, and so on. Clothes of cotton were known as chintz, cossaes or bandanna. In the 1680s a craze began in England and Europe for print Indian cotton textiles, mainly due to their fine floral designs, fine texture and relative cost-effectiveness. Patna, Calcutta, Kasim Bazaar, Charpoore, Orissa were other cloths.
• Wool and silk producers protested in England against Indian cloth imports. In 1720, the British Government passed a law prohibiting the use in England of printed cotton fabrics (chintz). The Act was referred to as the Calico Act.
• English producers could not compete with indigenous textiles by preventing the entry of indigenous textiles, they wanted a secure market within the region.
