Industrial revolution
 
 Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing
processes from about 1760-1870. It  brought radical changes to
our society.
THE TRANSITION INCLUDES; going from hand production
methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron
production, the increase use of steam power, the development of
machine tools and the rise of factory system.
 
 it began in England and later spread to France, Germany,
Netherlands, Austro/Hungary and other nations empires.
 
 The Industrial revolution is continuing till this days in many
ways.
 
 Farming was the main occupation of majority of
people
The lived closed to food sources
 all commodities were local, foreign goods were a
rare luxury
Production of goods was for use rather than profit
Weapons which kill few people at once
Life expectancy 35 years
Travel and communication non existence or
extremely low.
 
 
 
 
 
 Agriculture surplus in England due to new
techniques in farming- The Agriculture

th
 century.
Mercantilism: 
trading for profit and
accumulation of wealth.
 The long coastline- no region is far away from
sea port. This facilitate the procurement of raw
materials.
Semi skilled workers readily available
Abundance of coal and Iron
 
A government that encouraged  improvements in
transportation and used its navy to protect British
trade
The administrative and military expenditure of
England was lower than other monarchies of Europe
at that time.
 
Resources in the form of colonies- cheap raw
materials and ready market
 Scientific invention were facilitated and promoted
Banks and banking system
Strong Property laws and Political Institution
Low population and high cost labour
Incentive to invent and adopt machines
 
 
Textile industry was the first to be affected by IR.
It was completely mechanized by 1830s.

Industrialization in India
Industrialization in India can well be marked under two heads
viz.,
Pre-British Period and the
Evolution of Modern Industry.
 
Pre-British period
India was famous for her handicrafts right from Pre- British
times.
During the Mughal Period, India had a considerable variety of
arts and handicrafts.
The products commanded wide range of foreign markets.
At that time no other country produced products that could be
imported to India in exchange for cotton and silk goods which
were in world-wide demand.
 Europe had to pay in billions for the increasing volume of
Indian exports.
 
 Industrial Revolution in England has propelled
industrialisation not only in England but
elsewhere also.
 Whenever there is discussion on
industrilisation in India, the colonial state is
brought to the centre stage.
 Empire often cite examples of British
investments in infrastructure etc as laying the
ground for further industrilisation.
 The other arguments highlights the disastrous
results of colonialism on the indigenous
economies, completely taking it out of
competitive edge it had in textile industry.
 This argument was particularly favoured by the
nationalist Dadabhai Naoroji’s Drain of Wealth
and R.C. Dutt’s work of Economic History of
India had become works that were part of the
nationalist historiography.
 The nationalists argued that competition with
cheap British mill cloth drove Indians out of the
handloom industry and into agriculture.
 
 Another argument which does not agree with
notions that India was stagnant till the British
came and took over.
 
 India was also famous for jewellery of exquisite
quality which were made out of gold and silver
and also those which were made out of copper,
brass and bell-metal.
 
Many urban centres were famous in those days
for carving work in ivory, wood, stone and marble.
 
Though the quality of Indian goods was high, in
England they were treated as 'plague' shortly.
Prohibitory laws were passed in 1701 and 1720
against the use of the Goods.
 
 The cotton industry was the first to be revolutionised by
the new process.
 India was reduced to the status of a colonial
dependency.
 Imperialism set out to destroy the independent
economy and a substantial part of native handicrafts.
 Prohibitory duties were imposed on Indian goods
because, up to 1813 the silk and cotton goods of India
were sold in the British market at a price from fifty to
sixty percent lower than the price of those fabricated in
England.
 
 By 1880, the decline of handicrafts were nearly
complete and the mass of Indian handicrafts
men had no alternative means of livelihood.
 Very few Indian entrepreneurs started
manufacturing business as British polices did
not favour them.
 There were however several business
communities who were initially the collaborators
and middlemen with the British, like the Parsis
and Marwaris who ventured in to setting up
industries.
 The Marwaris of Calcutta moved from being
traders to industrialist in the jute business.
 
 
one may realize that the gradual transformation of
India into a single national unit and the growth of
great mercantile centres were the impacts of
British rule.
The introduction of the English language was
another factor which helped the training of a large
number of young Indians. This was necessary for
mastering modern scientific subjects which were
necessary for gaining the technical knowledge
required for industri.es and also in business
 
The abolition of the monopoly of the East India
Company in 1833 provided a big opportunity for
the English merchants to develop trade and
industry in India.
Foreign capital and enterprise flowed into
plantations and monopolistic industries such as
jute and railways.
 Another major factor which contributed to this
was the political developments in India and
abroad.
 For instance, the American civil war gave a great
impetus to the cotton industry and the World
War I to the iron and steel industry.
During the Second World War period, though the
actual war was not fought on Indian soil as such,
India stood as a major supply base of war
materials for the Middle Eastern and South
Eastern theatres of war. But the capacity for the
production of war materials in India was limited.
Therefore, a few new industrial enterprises were
set up.
 Thus, some new important industries started
production during the war period. These include
manufacture of transport equipment, chemicals,
metals and mechanical industries like diesel
engine and pumps. There was considerable
increase in the number of new industries.
 During the immediate post war years, the
industrial production was low and stagnant.
Almost all industries registered lower output and
the situation was serious with respect to cotton,
textiles, cement, iron and steel, sugar and paper.
 1947 marked a serious threat to the nation as
such, so also to the industrial activities. The
partition of India brought about a complete
disruption of the industrial and economic
system, which had for long, lived as a single
united economic unit.
 
The economic path India took, especially under the leadership of
Jawaharlal Nehru the new Prime minister of India.
 The link between colonialism and underdevelopment was firmly
established . This history made Indian leaders wary of international free
trade. Nehru who was inspired by Fabian socialism and by the Russian
example decided to adopt a socialist pattern of economic development.
Thus in the initial phase of economic development saw setting up heavy
industries and the construction of dams.
Five Year Plans After independence, India opted to have a centrally
planned economy to ensure an effective and equitable allocation of
national resources for the purpose of balanced economic development.
The idea of planning was taken from Russian centralized planning
system. Indian Economy is based on the concept of planning. This is
carried through her
Five-Year Plans, developed, executed and monitored by the Planning
Commission. After liberalisation, the emergence of a market economy
with a fast growing private sector, planning has become indicative,
rather than prescriptive in nature.
 
Gandhi: Swadeshi and Khadi
 Gandhi believed that India’s progress was tied up with its
villages. He was distrustful of the overarching powers of the
state and conceived of a series of village republics for India. He
was not for industrilisation which would destroy traditional
handicrafts and artisans and industries associated with them.
He strongly believed the concept of self reliance or swadeshi.
This meant that we, as Indians should find sustenance in our
efforts –labour and intellect derived from the people
themselves. Khadi-the hand spun cloth symbolized to him the
spirit of swdeshi.

The Industrial Revolution, spanning from 1760 to 1870, revolutionized manufacturing processes, transitioning from hand production to machines, introducing new chemical and iron production methods, and the use of steam power. It began in England and caused radical societal changes, leading to the rise of factory systems and the development of machine tools. Factors leading to the revolution included agricultural surplus, mercantilism, availability of raw materials, scientific inventions, strong property laws, and a government that encouraged transportation. Inventions such as the Flying Shuttle, Spinning Jenny, and power loom transformed the textile industry, spurring and sustaining the revolution.
