Answer 1

Answer:

British rulers never permitted modernisation nor did they encourage the growth of Industries. Unbalanced and lopsided growth structure was a legacy of British rule in India. In 1850-55 first cotton mill, jute mill and coal mine were established. Cotton textile and Jute industries are major industries in India during British rule. Metal industries like iron and steel also started on commercial scale after some time. Wood based industries like saw mills, ply boards and particle boards also established in forest regions.
