Predominance of primary occupation: The agricultural sector employed approximately 75% of the workforce. The remaining 25% was accounted for by the manufacturing and service sectors.

Decline of handicraft industry: The British government deliberately destroyed Indian handicraft industries, and no modern industrial base was permitted to emerge.
