People were persuaded by the following ways to use the new products:
(l) Advertisements: Advertisements appeared in newspapers, magazines, hoardings, street walls, television screens.
(ii) Labels: Labels are needed to tell the consumer, the place of manufacture and the name of the company and about the quality of the product. If a buyer is familiar to the company and is confident about it, he will buy that product. Generally, a person buys a branded shirt or any other product because he knows that a particular company is a company of repute. So, labels do help in attracting consumers to buy a product.
(iii) Printing of calendars: Calendars are also printed to popularise the products. They are hung in tea shops, homes and other places. People see the calendars daily and slowly they are attracted towards that product.
(iv) Figures of important persons, emperors etc.: These figures are used to convey the message that if you respect the royal figure, then respect this product too. If the royal person is using a product, its quality cannot be questioned. So, use of a royal figure popularise that product.
(v) Advertisement of nationalist message: In such advertisement, people are told that if you love your country then use that product. Such advertisements were used by Indian manufacturers. Thus, various ways were adopted to persuade people to buy new products.

The British manufacturers could not recapture their old position in the Indian markets after the First World War due to following reasons:
(l) They were unable to modernise and compete with the US, Germany and Japan.
(ii) The economy of Britain had crumbled after the war.
(iii) Cotton production had collapsed and exports of cotton cloth from Britain fell dramatically.
(iv) Within the colonies, local industrialists had gradually consolidated their position substituting foreign manufacturers and capturing the home markets.

(a) Industrial production in India increased during the First World War because the
British mills were busy with war production to meet the needs of the army. As a result of this,
Manchester imports i.e., goods produced in Manchester, into India declined. The demand in the home market could not be met by British imports. Thus, the Indian factories were called upon to supply war needs i.e., jute bags, cloth for army uniforms, tents and leather boots, horse and mule saddles and other items. New factories were set up. Multiple shifts were run in the factories. A large number of new workers were employed and they were asked to work for extra-hours.
All this led to increase in industrial production during the First World War.
(b) Effects: (i) In Britain cotton production collapsed and export of cotton cloth fell dramatically.
(ii) As Britain was unable to modernise and compete with the US, Germany and Japan, British economy crumbled.
(a) The various changes that affected the pattern of industrialisation in India were as given below: (i) During Swadeshi Movement, people boycotted foreign cloth. (ii) Industrial groups put pressure on the government to increase tariff protection and grant other concessions. (iii) From 1906, ChineseRead more
(a) The various changes that affected the pattern of industrialisation in India were as given below:
(i) During Swadeshi Movement, people boycotted foreign cloth.
(ii) Industrial groups put pressure on the government to increase tariff protection and grant other concessions.
(iii) From 1906, Chinese market was flooded with Chinese and Japanese mill’s products. This resulted in decline of export of Indian yarn to China.
(b) Results: Indian industrialists shifted from yarn to cloth production. Thus, cotton piece-goods production in India doubted between 1900 and 1912.
Major Peculiarities of industrial growth in India were as given below: (l) European Managing Agencies dominated industrial production in India. (ii) These Agencies were interested in certain kinds of products. For example, they established tea and coffee plantations. They acquired land at cheap rateRead more
Major Peculiarities of industrial growth in India were as given below:
(l) European Managing Agencies dominated industrial production in India.
(ii) These Agencies were interested in certain kinds of products. For example, they established tea and coffee plantations. They acquired land at cheap rates from the colonial government. They invested in mining, indigo and jute.
(iii) Their main object was export trade and not sale in India.
(iv) When Indians set up industries they avoided competition with Manchester goods in the Indian market. So, the early cotton mills in India produced coarse cotton yarn rather than fabric. This yarn was used by handloom weavers in India or exported to China.
What steps were adopted by the producers in India to expand the market for their goods in the 19th century?
