Detailed Solution

Trading with India greatly benefited the British as it created a trade surplus for them, apart from supplying cotton and indentured labour. British trade with India was in surplus. The British utilised this surplus to compensate for its trade disadvantage with other nations. India continued to be a significant source of the raw cotton the British needed to support their cotton textile industry. Similarly, many indentured workers from Bihar, the United Provinces, emigrated to other nations to work in mines and plantations of wealthy European nationals.
