Detailed Solution

A few of the Indian entrepreneurs survived the tough control of the British policies because some traded with Burma, some operated within India to transport goods, and many started their factories. The Britishers' intention to ultimately damage India's self-reliant economy was visible in their restrictions on the Indian merchants during the 19th century.
