Answers
Answer:
(1)1850- 1874
The development in 1854 of the cotton textile industry in India - the first important large scale industry marks the dawn of a new industrial era in India. The real beginning of the industry was made in Bombay in 1854 with predominantly Indian capital and enterprise.
Explanation:
➡️ The industrial revolution came late to India, due to its complicated political and economic relationship with Great Britain.
➡️ Although India, which was a British colony, dominated the global cotton textile markets in the 18th century, the Indian textile industry took a hit when the industrial revolution began in Great Britain.
➡️ the industrial revolution reversed India’s economic relationship with Great Britain so that it was now merely a supplier of raw materials for Great Britain and an importer of British textiles, instead of a producer of textile goods.
