Part 2 Age of Industrialisation Ch 5 History
The document discusses the impact of industrialization on workers and weavers in India in the 18th and 19th centuries. Hundreds of workers migrated to cities in search of jobs but faced miserable conditions, unemployment, and hostility to new technologies. Weavers began protesting and then refusing loans and closing workshops as machine-made British textiles flooded markets and made hand-woven textiles uncompetitive. The document also describes how early Indian entrepreneurs accumulated wealth through trade and then invested in industries, though European managing agencies still controlled much of the industry.
