Answer 2

India's traditional cotton textile industry received the major set back during the colonial rule.

Explanation:

• Due to competition from mill-made cloth from England, India's traditional cotton textile sector suffered a setback during the colonial period.
• Cotton textiles were mass-produced in vast quantities in England using power looms. Because India was once an English colony, the surplus was sold in India for profit.
• Because of the huge scale of production, the mill-made fabric was less expensive. Traditional textiles, on the other hand, used archaic processes such as hand-spinning and handloom weaving.
• As a result, its manufacture could not compete with English mill-made cloth.
