machines and mass production ofgoods in factories. Deindustrialisation on the
other hand is the process of disruption of traditional crafts and decline in national
income leading to poverty., Industrialisation leads to an ever-growing share ofthe

expansion after the East India Company got the diwani rights of Bengal. The profits
from duty free inland trade and the surplus from diwani revenues were now used
by the Company to finance its investments in India. The producers of goods were
forced to supply their produce to the Company at low prices arbitrarily fixedby
their officials. During the period 1757 to 1813, the East India Company's objective

possible price so that substantial profit could be made by selling these goods
in Britain and other European countries. The reckless attempts to increase their
purchases while forcing down the price adversely affected the traditional Indian
export industry.
