    • The development of cotton industries in Britain affected textile producers in India in several ways.
    • Indian textiles now had to compete with British textiles in the European and American markets.
    • Exporting textiles to England also became increasingly difficult since very high duties were imposed on Indian textiles imported into Britain.
    • By the beginning of the 19th century, English made cotton textiles successfully ousted Indian goods from their traditional markets in Africa, America and Europe. Thousands of weavers in India especially in Bengal were now thrown out of employment.
    • English and European companies stopped buying Indian goods and their agents no longer gave out advances to weavers to secure supplies.
    • Distressed weavers wrote petitions to the government to help them.
    • By the 1830s British cotton cloth flooded Indian markets and over a  period of time two-thirds of all the cotton clothes worn by Indians were made of cloth produced in Britain. This affected not only specialist weavers but also spinners.
    • Thousands of rural women who made a living by spinning cotton thread were rendered jobless.
