Answer» By the first decade of twentieth century, a series of changes affected the pattern of industrialisation in India to the following ways: (a) As the Swadeshi Movement gathered momentum, the nationalists mobilised the people to boycott foreign cloth. Industrial groups pressurised the government to increase tariff protection and grant concessions. (b) In 1906 the export of Indian yarn to China declined. The industrialists shifted from yarn to cloth production. (c) The beginning of First World War created a new situation. Since British mills were producing war materials to meet war needs, exports to India declined. Indian mills had a vast home market to supply. (d) As the war continued, Indian factories were called upon to supply war needs for example, jute bags, saddles etc. New factories were set up and old ones ran multiple shifts. (e) Industrialists consolidated their position and captured home markets.
