Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
An inexpensive machine-made thread destroyed the spinning business in the nineteenth century, although weavers continued to work despite difficulties. Production of handloom fabrics increased substantially in the 20th century, nearly tripling between 1900 and 1940. Technical advancements brought part of this on. Craftspersons will adopt new technology if it enhances productivity without significantly raising expenses. Thus, fly weavers used shuttle looms by the second decade of the twentieth century. This led to faster production, higher productivity per worker, and lower labour demand. In India, fly shuttles were installed in more than 35% of handlooms by 1941; in places like Travancore, Madras, Mysore, Cochin, and Bengal, the percentage was between 70 and 80 percent.
