Detailed Solution

It is true that farmers were severely affected during the colonial period, and it was due to the following events.
1)      By weaving, spinning, or creating minor crafts, the farmers were able to augment their income.
2)      These farmers lost some of their income as a result of the invasion of the Indian textile and craft industries.
3)      The farmers were thereafter compelled to provide the raw materials to the traders and merchants at extremely low prices as industrialization spread throughout the nation.
4)      The market's limited supply of Indian resources led to an increase in the cost of such resources. These supplies had to be purchased by farmers at very high costs. As a result, they experienced losses on all fronts.
