Скачать или смотреть How the Industrial Revolution Crushed India’s Handicraft Industry 💔

The Industrial Revolution in England was a turning point in world history — but for India, it marked the beginning of economic decline under British rule. 🏭

Before machines took over, India was globally famous for its handicrafts, textiles, pottery, and handwoven fabrics. From the fine muslins of Bengal to the silk of Banaras and the carpets of Kashmir — Indian artisans were admired worldwide for their skill and creativity. 🇮🇳✨

But when England’s factories started mass-producing cheap, machine-made goods, Indian handmade products could no longer compete. The East India Company flooded the Indian market with British goods, destroyed local trade networks, and imposed policies that benefited British industries — not Indian craftsmen. 💔

As a result, millions of Indian artisans lost their livelihood, traditional crafts began to vanish, and India was slowly turned into a market for British goods and a supplier of raw materials like cotton. This was one of the biggest economic transformations in India’s colonial history — a silent revolution that changed India’s economy forever.

In this short video, we’ll explain how the Industrial Revolution in England directly led to the decline of India’s handicrafts and cottage industries, and how this shaped our economic structure during the British era.
