Bengal's traditional industries, once celebrated worldwide, largely
decayed under the backwash effects of the British Industrial
Revolution in the first half of the nineteenth century. Although
colonial ambivalence is often cited as an explanation, this study
also shows that a series of new industries emerged during this
period. The book reappraises the thesis of India's
deindustrialisation and discusses the development status of the
traditional industries in the early nineteenth century, examines
their technology, employment opportunities and marketing and,
finally, analyses the underlying reasons for their decay. It offers
a study of how traditional industries evolved into modern
enterprises in a British colony, and contributes to the broader
discussion on the global history of industrialisation. This book
will be of interest to scholars of Indian economic history as well
as those who seek to understand the widespread effects of
industrialisation, especially in a colonial context.
