Jones and Colebrooke shared a deep respect for the ancient culture. Both Indian and the West Indian civilisation, they felt, had attained glory in the ancient past but had subsequently declined. In order to understand India, it was necessary to discover the sacred and legal texts written in the ancient times.

Primitive Subsistence Farming: Shifting cultivation and nomadic herding come under this type of farming.
Shifting Cultivation: In shifting cultivation, a small patch of land is cleared by felling the trees and burning them. Then the ashes are mixed with the soil and seeds are broadcast. After a couple of years, the patch of the land is left fallow and the farmer moves on in search of a new patch of land. Shifting cultivation is practiced in thickly forested areas of Amazon basin, tropical Africa, parts of southeast Asia and Northeast India.
Nomadic Herding: In this type of farming, cattle, sheep, goat and camel are reared. The herdsmen move from place to place with their animals in search of new pastures. Nomadic herding is practiced in the semi-arid and arid regions of Sahara, Central Asia and some parts of India (like Rajasthan and Jammu & Kashmir).

- 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.
