\nDuring the 19th century, India experienced a process of deindustrialisation, particularly in its traditional handicraft industries. This was largely due to colonial policies that favoured British manufactured goods and raw material extraction from India. The cotton textile industry, which was historically one of India’s largest and most important sectors, was arguably the most severely affected. The influx of cheap, machine-made textiles from Britain devastated the indigenous handloom industry, leading to mass unemployment and impoverishment among weavers and artisans.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile other industries like silk, iron and steel, and woollen manufacture were also impacted, the scale and social impact of the decline of the cotton textile industry were immense, affecting rural and urban populations across vast regions of India.
