When
the British authorities reorganized and regulated India’s economy, they
organized a modern administration system which brought an transformation and
new ideas to Indian in all aspects. While there was an changing in society, the
rising industrial interest also wanted to make India a big market of their
goods.
An
important development in the second half of the 19th century was the
establishment of large-scale machine based industry in India.The machine age in
India began when cotton textile, jute and coal mining industries were started
in the 1850’s . The first textile mill was started in Bombay by Cowasjee Nanabhoy
in 1853,and the first jute mill in Rishra(Bengal) in 1855.These industries
slowly expand but continuously. In 1879, there were 56 cotton textile mills in
India employing nearly 43,000 persons. In 1882, there were 20 jute mills, most
of them in Bengal employing nearly 20,000 person. The coal-mining industry
employed nearly one lakh of persons in 1906. Other mechanical industries which
developed during the second half of the 19th and beginning of 20th century were
cotton gins and presses, rice, flours and timber mills,leathertanneries, wollen
textiles, sugar mills,iron and steel and such mineral industries as salt,mica
and saltpeter. Cement,paper,matches, sigar and glass industries developed during
the 1930’s, but these had a very stunned growth.
Apart
from machine based industry, the 19th century also witnessed the
growth of plantation industries such as indigo, tea and coffee. Indigo was used
as a dye in textile manufacture and it was introduced into Indians at the end
of the 18th century and flourished in Bengal and Bihar. The tea
industry was developed in Assam, Bengal and South India and the hills of
Himachal Prades, after 1850 it was also become an important items of export. Coffee
plantation also introduced during this period in South India.
Most
of these Indian industries were owned or controlled by the British capital.
Foreign capitalists also attracted to Indian industry because labours were
extremely cheap raw materials were readily and cheaply available and for many
goods, India and its neighbours provided a ready market. For many Indian
products such as tea, jute and manganese, there was a ready demand the world
over.
On
the otherhand, the plantation and other foreign owned industries were of hardly
any advantages to the Indians. Their profit went out of the country as most of
their products were sold in foreign market. Thus, the industrial progress in
India was exceedingly slow and painful.
