Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Indian textiles dominated the European markets till the eighteenth century. But as the industrial revolution arrived, the production process was fully transformed. The cloth was produced in the industries on a much larger scale and at a lesser cost. The Indian markets were flooded with cheaper cloth that could be afforded by everyone. Moreover, the government banned the export of manufactured goods from India to reduce competition. This led the weavers in India to great distress. Their exports declined and local markets were occupied by cheap manchester cloth. They were reduced to poverty, became unable to pay revenue, and became indebted.
The correct statement is That the manchester imports affect the cotton weavers in India.
