What was happening in India during the Industrial Revolution period in Europe?
How did the British exploit India's resources and labor force?
The British brought in modern machinery to India, but most of it was used to produce raw materials for export, rather than finished products for domestic consumption. They also introduced a system of railroads and canals that made it easier to transport goods out of India, but this infrastructure was primarily built to support the export of raw materials. Additionally, India's population was used as a cheap labor force for British industries, with workers being forced to work long hours for minimal pay.
