How did the decline of the India textile industry affect weavers
Dear Student,
Answer to your question is as follows :
Development of textile industries in Britain affected textile producers in India in several ways.
Like Now, Indian textiles now had to compete with British textiles and even exporting became difficult for them.
By the beginning of 19th century,
English made cotton textiles successfully ousted Indian goods from their traditional markets in America, Africa and Europe.
As a result, it affected weavers too in several ways like they were now thrown out of employment.
Bengal weavers were the worst hit.
European and English companies even stopped buying Indian goods and their agents no longer provide advances to weavers so that they may secure supplies.
Even some of the weavers who were distressed wrote petitions to the Government for help.
This not only affected weavers but spinners too.
Many weavers who were not even able to maintain their livelihood became agricultural labour.
Some migrated to to cities in search of work, and yet others went out of the country to work in plantations.
Even some of the weavers found work in the new mills.
Regards
