Was the Indian economy de-industrialized in the 19th century?..

Answer / Sushant Kumar

During the British colonial period, there was a decline in traditional industries in parts of India. However, it is debated whether this amounts to 'de-industrialization' or just a shift towards export-oriented production and import substitution. Some argue that the industrial potential of India was not fully realized during this time.
