<font color ="pink"><i>Cotton plays an important role in the Indian economy as the country's textile industry is predominantly cotton based. India is one of the largest producers as well as exporters of cotton yarn.

It really started in 1859 at Mumbai when a textile mill was set up producing cotton cloth. In 1905 the Swadeshi Movement caused foreign cotton textiles to be boycotted so the Indian Textile Industry developed.

Answer:

Explanation: The cotton textile industry is a very important industry in a developing country like india, for it has to meet the demand for clothes of the indians and the exports too.

It is not a basic industry like iron and steel industry but it forms the largest single industry in India. Every year the cotton textile industry produces 30%-35% of the total industrial products in the country.

It contributes nearly 30% of the value of exports, and employs more than 55 million labors.

Some parts of india, western and southern region are largely dependent on this industry. Besides, many people are engaged in either cotton production, or the garment industry, many factories produce the machines required for the cotton textile industry etc.

Thus, the cotton textile industry is very important to India's economy, directly or indirectly.
