Detailed Solution

Manchester's businessmen began selling clothing in India in the nineteenth century. Labels were placed on the cloth bundles to make the location of production and the brand name of the company familiar to customers. Labels served as an indicator of quality as well. Customers felt confident purchasing clothing when they noticed "Made in Manchester" written in bold on the label. The labels contained pictures and had exquisite illustrations of Indian deities on them. The printed images of Gods and Goddesses like Krishna and Saraswati served to familiarise Indians with the foreign maker. The advertisements and calendars included images of prominent emperors and nawabs. The underlying message seemed to be: "If you respect a royal person, then respect the product". Hence, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
