SOURCE A

The Indian cotton industry

At first the East India Company and the British Parliament discouraged Indian production of cotton
goods in order to encourage the growing cotton industry in Great Britain. British policy developed
during the nineteenth century to allow Indian people to grow raw cotton in order to supply material
for the cotton factories of Great Britain. Orders were sent out to force Indian skilled workers to
work in the East India Company’s factories. The East India Company was given legal powers to
control production in the villages and communities of Indian weavers. Very high tariffs excluded
Indian silks and cotton goods from Great Britain but British goods were admitted into India free of
duty.
