Question

why had Indian government put barriers to foreign trade and foreign investment after Independence state one reason

Answer 1

HEY MATE!

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER—

After independence, India was not in the condition to compete with other countries......

(As u know that Britishers invaded India because they thought that it was a country which was unable to rule itself i.e. dependent)

Therefore, after independence, the Indian government set trade barriers to first of all improve the condition of Indian traders otherwise they could be ruined as they were not competitive and foreign goods would conquer the market and snatch their livelihood.

After that when they became self-dependent/independent then trade was liberalised.
