Mughal empair controlled the revenue from the fertile lands of up through the “jagirdari system“. Due to fertile lands and increased agricultural activities, the state of up has been the center of agricultural reform from time to time.

The traditional land ownership was radically changed and it went hand in hand with the lands of the Zamindars Creating a large landless Lebour class in the state. These British policies made the ‘Zamindars‘ and Moneylenders Quite Powerful classes and increased the poverty in a large section of the population.

During the Mughal Empire and the British, world-class Handloom was produced in Varanasi, Dhaka, and Malwa. Which was exported all over the world. Later it was in high demand around the world for its quality.

Rising Demand for Indian fabrics hurts traditional woolen industry in England and therefore, they put restrictions on the import of Indian cloth in 1700AD. After the Battle of Classic in 1757, India regained its political control.

After gaining political control of India in 1757, the British imposed many taxes on Indian traditional weavers respecting the traditional weaving industry.

Following the industrial revolution, British machine made cheaper cloths competed fiercely with the Indian hand made and relatively costly clothes.

 

All these policies collectively caused Deindustrialzation of the indian handloom industry. Varanasi some handloom marchant close this business.They had to choose another profession. The British had a long term policy As a result, India and Uttar Pradesh had to struggle even after independence.
