Handloom weaving did not completely die down in India. Comment on this statement

Handloom weaving did not completely die in India. This was because all kinds of cloths could not be supplied be industries. For example- Machines could not produce saris with intricate borders and cloths with traditionally woven patterns which were in great demand not only amongst the rich but also the middle classes.

This was because some type of clothes could not be supplied by machines . As machines cannot produce saris with intricate borders or cloths with traditional woven patterns . these had wide demand not only amongst the rich but also amongst middle class . Nor did the textile manufacture in Britain produce the very coarse cloths used by the poor people in India . Sholapur in western India and Madura in South India , these towns emerged as important new centres of weaving in the late nineteenth century . Later during the national movement , Mahatma Gandhi urged people to boycott imported textile and to use hand - spun and hand - woven cloths .
