Question

What are the three different types of movement?

Answer 1

Three different type of movements are:

a. Flow of trade- It represents trading activities between countries like India aad the European countries. The India cotton industry and textiles , including silk centuries had for centuries made India's name a byword in the World . Merchants from Central Asia through land and sea routes established a vast network of export trade . The East India Company, after industrial process, was no longer interested in buying Indian manufactured goods, rather looked for market for its own goods. This increased export of British cotton goods to India on a large scale. By 19th century , India became an exporter of raw material and importer of Britain manufacturing goods.

b. Flow of Capital- 19th century also witnessed flow of capital from London as increase in income encouraged people to make overseas investments. Later , Indian bankers and traders also financed exports in Central and South East Asia . A proper system for making investment, for transferring money was established.

c. Flow of labour- With increased urbanisation and population, demand for food grains and other agricultural products increased, this also led to the scrapping of corn laws which led to increase in import of food grains. Land became to be cultivated not only only by indigenous peasants but by hired workers brought in from Asia, Africa.With the growth in British industrial economy, the demand for labour further increased. The 19th century witnessed further changes in the labour pattern movement with the indentured labour migration from India, who went to work in plantations, mines , road and railways projects. They mainly migrated to the British controlled Caribbean islands
