Destruction of the handicraft industries by the colonial rule of the Britishers

The Indian handicrafts that had made the country famous perished during colonial rule.

Competition from machine-made items imported from the United Kingdom was a major factor. Because of its ability to mass produce commodities, the United Kingdom was able to flood Indian markets with low-cost goods.

The railways facilitated the shipment of these commodities as well as the procurement of raw materials from India's most remote places. These mass-produced commodities were putting a lot of pressure on the traditional handicrafts industry.

As a result, many craftsmen were forced to abandon their hereditary trade, the weaver in India had to pay a higher price for these materials. As a result, Indian handicrafts have become more expensive than machine-made goods. Indian commodities were similarly subjected to high tariffs in the English market, while British goods were permitted duty-free entry into Indian markets.

Foreign commodities posed a severe threat to Indian handicrafts as a result of these regulations. India became a raw material supplier to British enterprises as well as a buyer of finished items from the UK. The collapse of India's handmade sector is referred to as deindustrialization.

The rural sector became overcrowded as a result of the decline of traditional industries, eroding the self-sufficient village economy. De-industrialization had far-reaching ramifications in a variety of industries.
