In a word, the Industrial Revolution transformed India into a country that supplied raw-materials to the industrial houses of Britain.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution British traders purchased cotton piece- goods and other handicraft items from India. And used to net huge profit by selling those in the European markets.

With the Industrial Revolution Britain started manufacturing various articles in a short time. For the manufacture of such articles huge raw-materials were needed.

And at the same time Britain flooded the Indian markets with the machine-made products produced in British factories.
