Describe Any Three Problems Faced by Indian Cotton Weavers in the Nineteenth Century.

Posted on Updated on

The three problems faced by Indian cotton weavers in the nineteenth century were:

1. Earlier, India was the main exporter of fine cotton to Britain but when the British cotton industries began to expand after industrialisation, they put pressure on the government to restrict the import of cotton to Britain.

2. As a result, tariffs were imposed on the import of cotton cloth from India which protected the local manufacturers in Britain.

3. Thus the inflow of the fine cotton from India declined.
