As India was colonised by India during the time period of mid 1800s, many revolutions had industrialised most of the western world, Britain were believed to have abandoned mercantilism and practise “free trade” with no tariffs or quotas or restrictions. Around 1858, post independence, British declared as a colony and started building its infrastructure by modernising ports, railroads, telegraph and also dismantling India’s textile industry as it was a stronger direct competitions with Britain’s textile industry. The Industrial revolution had also turned England as the world’s workshop where India was the major supplier of raw materials. India’s large population of 300 million people also was one of the large potential markets for British-made goods. After forcing India to accept free trade, British factory-owners who learned these techniques of machine spinning and weaving, imported cheap raw cotton from the Southern American plantations and made finished cloth at the British mills which was cheaper than the handloom products of Indian sold there.
