Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The cotton textiles industries were established in England in the 18th century that produced cheap and affordable textiles. Till the 18th century, Indian textiles were in massive demand in Europe and had no competition. But the Industrial Revolution resulted in the ousting of Indian textiles.

The cotton textile industry demanded tariff barriers for imports. The tariff barriers increased the prices of Indian textiles and made them unaffordable.

The Calico Act banned the use of printed cloth in England. This hugely affected the Indian markets.

The industry produced textiles at a much faster pace and lower costs. The export of textiles to India posed huge competition to Indian textiles.

The correct statement would be that the cotton industries in Britain affected Indian textiles.
