Answer:

One of the main reasons for the revolt was that the British East India Company also started meddling with India's political and financial system. Sepoy units combined with local populations in a major rebellion in 1857 that temporarily unified many Indians across sect, caste, and religious differences.

The Anglo-Mysore Wars were a series of four wars between the British and the Kingdom of Mysore in the latter half of the 18th century in Southern India. First Anglo-Mysore War Haider Ali built a strong army and annexed many regions in the South including Bidnur, Canara, Sera, Malabar and Sunda. He also took French support in training his army. This alarmed the British. Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780 – 1784) The Marathas attacked Mysore in 1771. But the British refused to honour the Treaty of Madras and did not give support to Hyder Ali. As a result, Hyder Ali’s territories were taken by the Marathas. He had to buy peace with the Marathas for a sum of Rs.36 lakh and another annual tribute. This angered Hyder Ali who started hating the British. When the English attacked Mahe, a French possession under Hyder Ali’s dominion, he declared war on the English in 1780. Third Anglo-Mysore War (1786 – 1792) Causes of the war: The British started improving their relationship with the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Marathas. Tipu Sultan, who assumed control of Mysore after Hyder Ali’s death, had French help in bettering his military resources. He also refused to free the English prisoners taken during the second Anglo-Mysore war as per the Treaty of Mangalore.

In our country, each and every citizen can practice their choice of religion. Everyone is free to do whatever his/her religion tells them to do. So Muslims fast during Ramzan, Christians during Lent and Hindus during Navaratri. However, in following our religion we should not forget that other people are free to follow theirs and that this is no reason to fight.

  1. Harsh and unfriendly forest laws and regulations.

There is a decrease in demand for jute owing to the Government of India: The jute mills often failing to supply bags to sugar mills on time, As a result, jute mills in India are not getting orders from sugar mills and the demand for jute has dropped.

The Government had increased the Minimum Support Price for Jute.

Jute prices are also sensitive to climate fluctuations in Bangladesh and the northwest of India (West Bengal), which are the areas that produce 2/3 of the total global jute production and have similar climates and weather conditions.

Despite expansion of jute growing area and intensification of its cultivation, India is not self-sufficient in the supply of raw material.

As the minerals are exhaustible and non-renewable natural resources, their exploitation has to be done systematically and scientifically for sustenance. Augmentation of resources through improved mining and beneficiation methods and utilization of low-grade ores needs to be done to conserve minerals. These aspects constitute the essentials of the National Mineral Policy of India. 

One method of conserving mineral resources is recycling. The increased need for mineral resources can partly be met by conservation. Conservation means using material wisely. One method of conserving mineral resources is recycling. Renewable resources have the capacity to get replaced by recycling through natural cycles.

In 1600, a group of English businessmen asked Elizabeth I for a royal charter that would let them voyage to the East Indies on behalf of the crown in exchange for a monopoly on trade. The merchants put up nearly 70,000 pounds of their own money to finance the venture, and the East India Company was born. Concerned that the English were falling behind to the Dutch on these new trading routes, on the 31st December 1600 Queen Elizabeth I granted over 200 English merchants the right to trade in the East Indies.

Those days are gone when the people used to go to big cities to get a job,now history is changing i.e. De-durbanisation.

Deurbanisation is the process in which people move from the urban areas to rural areas.

Industries are being established outside the city because of  more affordable cost and the taxes and insurance at a cheaper price and also more people to work than in Urban Areas

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 1 month ago

Indian society had been a prey to many evil practices for a long time. Men and women were treated differently. Women were subjected to many restrictions. They were not allowed to go to schools. They were not allowed to choose their husbands. Child-marriage was an established custom in the society. Most children were married off at an early age. Both Hindu and Muslim men could many more than one wife. In some parts of the country, sati was in practice. Those widows were praised who chose death by burning themselves on the funeral pyre of their husbands. Women’s rights to property were also restricted.

One more evil practice that had crippled Indian society was that all people did not enjoy equal status. The upper-caste consisted of Brahmans and Kshatriyas, availed all privileges. But other than these people were subjected to exploitation. The untouchables, who did menial works, were considered polluting. They were not allowed to enter temples, draw water from the well used by the upper castes. They were seen as inferior human beings.

These evil customs and practices had eclipsed the progress of society. Hence, debates and discussions began to take place from the early 19th century, with the development of new forms of communications. For the first time, books, newspapers, magazines, leaflets and pamphlets were printed. They spread awareness among the common mass.
Social reformers like Raja Rammohun Roy, Ishwarchander Vidyasagar, came forward and took initiatives to bring changes in society by abolishing the evil practices one after Another.

In 18th century the competition of textile rose and many countries started inventing machine which can do work by just pressing a button. The Indians denied the use of machine and made textile by their hands, this led to collapse of Indian textile industry in 18th century

Following factors led to the decline of the textile industry during the British rule in India-
1. Low price of machine - made textiles
2. Expansion of railways
3. Imported textiles could reach the villages
4. Traditional weavers lost their village markets.
5. Due to high export tax, textiles exported to Britain lost its market
