Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The history of Japan's industrialization in the late 19th century contrasts with that of India. The colonial state in India, eager to open up the market for British goods, was unwilling to support the Indian industrialists. In Japan, the state encourages the development of industries. The Meiji regime, which took power in Japan in 1868, believed that Japan must industrialize to resist Western domination. So he started a series of measures to support industrialization. Postal, telegraph, railway, and maritime services developed. The most advanced technology from the West is imported and adapted to the needs of Japan. Foreign experts are brought in to train Japanese experts. Industrialists received generous investment loans from government-established banks. The government first initiated large industries and sold them cheaply to business families. In India, a colonial rule created barriers to industrialization. In Japan, fear of foreign invasion fueled industrialization. But it also means that Japan's industrial development has been tied to military needs.
