Detailed Solution

The British Government imposed tariffs on the import of cotton clothes into India.
To make Britain flourish, its trade expanded, and the British Government destroyed the textile industry of India. The Textile Industry, flourishing in carving its space before the arrival of the British, faced a setback once the British Government took control.

Moreover, many new industrial products were also coming to the market, which was very hard for the Indian market to compete with.
