India's Industrial Development

During the Industrial Revolution pollution was a major problem. For example, in Document 3 the image shows a factory near a river with smoke erupting out of

The Industrial Revolution was of great importance to the economic development of the United States. The new era of mass production kindled in the United States because of technological innovations, a patent system, new forms of factory corporations, a huge supply of natural resources, and foreign investment. The growth of large-scale industry in America had countless positive results, but also negative results as well. Industrialization after the Civil War affected the United States in several ways including poverty, poor labor laws, and the condition of the people.

Another way modernization is illustrated in India is through agriculture and industry, notwithstanding the effects it had on Indians. Industry guided India to a much stronger economy, arguably guiding them to holding a spot in the top ten economies in the world (O.I). Irrigation cultivated approximately 30 million acres, awarding the country great agricultural wealth. Along with wealth also came a disappearance of the famines in India. Collectively, the country of India as a whole benefited from this modernization as it set a higher standard of living for the population.

______ 13) Dependence in the world economy and the consequent need to produce unprocessed goods cheaply led to the development of __________ labor systems.

The general cause of the Indian Independence Movement was India’s desire for independence from British, French and Portuguese Rule. The aim of the movement was “Swaraj, a self-governing India” (Sharma, 2005, p. 22). One, more specific, cause of the Indian Independence Movement took place in 1905 when the province of Bengal was divided into two provinces,

32). Though these industries were feeding unprecedented economic growth, only the privileged were seeing the benefit. Common people were living and working in abhorrent conditions and discontent began almost immediately. Overcrowding and political corruption were also serious issues.

(Document 3). There were many factories in cities because it provided a place to manufacture goods quicker and cheaper. In result of all the factories, people would argue that it would create a significant amount of environmental pollution which was true. On the other hand, many people did have a stable employment because the factories created many jobs. Men and women were capable of supplying for their families.

Before the Industrial Revolution occurred in the late 18th century and 19th century, skilled workers were needed to produce finished goods. The production rates of items were slow due to the limited amount of trained craftsmen and complexity of creating products. This caused goods to be limited in quantity and highly priced. However, the advent of the Industrial Revolution increased production rates, reduced prices of items, and diminished the need for skilled workers. Although the Industrial Revolution positively impacted consumers and businessmen, it also negatively impacted the low skilled laborers used to manufacture goods.

Industrialisation and urbanisation developed during the late 1700’s. This was the process of companies removing physical labour and replacing this with machinery. The iron and the textile industries we’re two fields of work which played a big impact on the industrial revolution and the people who mainly benefited from these occupations were the very poor and working class.

For approximately two hundred years Britain ruled over India, allowing them almost no control of their own country. This is what imperialism was like for many countries. Initially India was colonized for its natural resources by the East India company but the companies hold on India became compromised after the sepoy rebellion in 1857 so the English government took control in a time of crisis. After decades of British Imperialism India finally gained independence in 1947. Brittain helped develop India by creating a government, education, and millions of jobs, however they negatively affected India by using the government and its powerful army to control and suppress the Indians along with Britain's unfair policies which

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, commodities were produced by the cottage system, which was a slow, intricate process that took numerous steps in providing finished goods to the market. The cottage system was inefficient, unorganized, and was reliant upon individual talents to produce goods or commodities (Manzione). This system was based upon individuals making goods in rural areas on basic machinery, merchants traveling to purchase the goods and provide the individual with new materials, then the merchant taking the product and selling it elsewhere (Modern World History Textbook). This system was very inefficient and the goods that were produced were very expensive, because the demand for the products was higher than the supply. Also, the market for the goods made by the cottage industry was strictly people who had sufficient incomes that could

The industrialization produced many unpleasant social inventions. Production by machinery threw a large number of people into unemployment. The factory system resulted in over-crowding and unhygienic conditions and also the development of slum areas. Many if not all factory owners who needed cheap, unskilled labor, profited greatly by using children and women to run the machines and because they were small and could fit in tunnels as well…not only that

Industrial licensing was brought in, the insurance ventures of the Tatas and their airlines were

In 1960s and 1970s, the economic growth rate of GDP in India had been still at 3−3.5 percent per year (Mishra & Kumar, 2005).

Furthermore, in the context of this plan; scientific investigations, including space and nuclear programmes were additional fields that India paid attention similar to the Soviet Union. Nonetheless; economy of India did not correspond all these attempts immediately because of previous excessive investments in defense industry that aimed to enhance resistance to Colonial Rule. The main problems were inadequacy in generation of asset and qualified people along with required improved facilities. Due to these scarcities of sources; for 28 years (1951-1979) Indian economy yielded 3% annual average increase and this growth rate reflected as fixed low charges during all this period. Given the returns of the Five Year Plan; industrial and agricultural activities yielded 4.5%
