Select the INCORRECT statement from the following.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Cotton clothes made in England had driven Indian clothes out of the markets of Europe and America in the beginning of the 20th century.
By that time, India’s textile industry had already declined due to British industrial dominance, and Indian cloth had largely lost its global market in the 19th century itself. The other statements are correct: Britain’s industrial growth harmed Indian weavers, the first mill began in Bombay in 1854, and Sale and Devang communities were renowned weavers.
