Question

Machine-made cotton cloth imported into India during British rule was categorized as:

विकल्प

• Raw cotton

• Cotton textiles (machine-made cloth)

• Primary products

• Raw jute products

Answer 1

Machine-made cloth imported into India was listed as 'Cotton textiles (machine-made cloth).' This stands in contrast to raw cotton, which India exported — illustrating the colonial pattern where India sent raw materials abroad and received finished goods in return.
