Answer:

Heya mate.....

The factors which contributed to the decline of the Indian textile industry were:

(i) British occupation of India.

(ii) After the industrial revolution in Britain cheap machine made cloth flooded India. Indian cotton textiles made with primitive techniques could not compete with goods produced on a mass scale.

(iii) The high import duties and other restrictions imposed on Indian textiles by the British rulers worked to the disadvantage of the Indian textiles.

(iv) To meet the growing demand of British industries the English used their political control to reduce India, to the level of exporter of raw materials (e.g., cotton and indigo) and importer of finished goods.

Hope it helps.....
