Indian Economy on The Eve of Independence

Question

What were the important features of industries before the British rule in India?

Answer

There were small production units, in which machines and equipments were of old style. These production units produced goods in small quantities.

There was simple division of labour. Division of work was restricted on the basis of caste. There were very limited chances of discoveries, inventions and innovations. This simple and cheap technique deprived us of the industrial developments.
