The Age of Industrialisation
This topic from the NCERT Class 10 India and the Contemporary World textbook surveys how industrialisation transformed production in Britain, Europe and colonial India. It contrasts proto industrial household production with factory discipline, steam power and the growth of mill towns, and explains why handloom weavers, artisans and women workers faced hardship. In India it examines the decline of textiles under British imports, the rise of Bombay and Calcutta mills, changing labour markets, and how workers and entrepreneurs adapted to new machines and markets.
