$<i><u>The commercialization of Indian agriculture was done primilary to feed the british industries that it was taken up and achieved only in case of those agricultural products which were either needed by the british industries or could fetch cash commercial gain to the British in the European or American market .For example,several efforts were made to increase the production of cotton in india to provide raw and good quality cotton to the cotton textiles industries of British which were growing fast after the Industrial Revolution in Britain . Therefore cotton growing area increase in India and it's production increased manifold with gradual lapse of time .Indigo and more than that ,tea and coffee plantation were encouraged in India because these could get commercial market abroad.Or we can say that India came under the supremacy of the British goverment. Britishers used Indian farmers for growing raw materials ,which were taken to Britain for making finished products .They force Indian farmers to grow commercial crops because these crops were highly demanded in their country......$
