(a) The industrialisation in Britain affected the cotton and cotton textiles in the following ways:
(i) The industrialisation expanded cotton manufacture in Britain. The government imposed tariffs on cotton imports to Britain in order to protect local industries. This resulted in decline of import of Indian cotton into Britain.
(ii) The share of exports of cotton textiles declined from 30 per cent around 1800 to 3 per cent by the 1870s due to stiff competition in the international markets.
(b) With the decline in the exports of manufactures the following products were exported:
(i) Between 1812 and 1871, the share of raw cotton exports rose from 5 per cent to 35 per cent.
(ii) Indigo was exported for dying cloth.
(iii) From 1820s British grew opium in India and exported it to China and with the money earned through this sale, it financed its tea and other imports from China.
There was need of capital for growing food and other crops for the world market. Large plantations could borrow capital from banks and markets.

There was need of capital for growing food and other crops for the world market. Large plantations could borrow capital from banks and markets. Others such as humble peasants fulfilled their requirements as mentioned below:
(i) There were the Shikaripuri Shroffs and Nattukottai Chettiars who were bankers and traders that financed export agriculture in central and south-East Asia.
(ii) They used their own capital or borrowed from European banks.
(iii) They had a sophisticated system to transfer money over large distances. They even developed indigenous forms of corporate organisation.
(iv) Indian traders and moneylenders followed European colonisers into Africa also.
(v) Hyderabadi Sindhi traders established flourishing emporia at busy ports worldwide. They sold local and imported curios to the tourists.
(a) Some examples of cultural fusion or a new culture among the indentured workers were as follows: (i) In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession was transformed into a riotous carnival called "Hosay" (for Imam Hussain). Workers of all races and religions joined in this carnival. (ii) The protest rRead more

(ii) The protest religion of Rastafarianism is also another example of social and cultural links with Indian migrants to the Caribbean.
(iii) ‘Chutney music’ in Trinidad and Guyana is also an example of cultural fusion.
(b) The above forms of cultural fusion helped in the making of the global world, where things from different places get mixed, lose their original characteristics and become something entirely new. This also encouraged a large number of Indians to stay back.
The 19th century indenture has been described as a ‘new system of slavery; Their recruitment was done by agents engaged by employers.

Agents tempted the prospective migrants by providing false information about final destinations, mode of travel, the nature of work and living and working conditions.

If an indentured labourer was not able complete the work allotted to him, he was prosecuted and sent to jail for 14 days.
Most Indian indentured workers came from the present-day regions of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, central India and the dry districts of Tamil Nadu.
