Question

From the following, select countries or the manufacturers who used most of the the yarn produced by Indian spinning mills during the age of industrialisation:

• A. Britain
• B. China
• C. Indian handloom weavers
• D. USA

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B China
C Indian handloom weavers

Only the best quality yarn was imported. A lot of the yarn produced by Indian spinning mills was either used by Indian handloom weavers or exported to China. From 1906 Indian exports of yarn to China reduced because the Chinese market was flooded with products from Chinese and Japanese mills. In tune with the market, Indian industries shifted from yarn to cloth production.
