C. SOURCE BASED QUESTIONS:

Q1. Read the given extract and answer the following questions:
In ancient India, cotton textiles were produced with hand spinning and handloom weaving techniques.
After the 18th century, power-looms came into use. Our traditional industries suffered a setback during
the colonial period because they could not compete with the mill-made cloth from England. In the early
years, the cotton textile industry was concentrated in the cotton growing belt of Maharashtra and
Gujarat. Availability of raw cotton, market, transport including accessible port facilities, labour, moist
climate, etc. contributed towards its localisation. This industry has close links with agriculture and
provides a living to farmers, cotton boll pluckers and workers engaged in ginning, spinning, weaving,
dyeing, designing, packaging, tailoring and sewing. The industry by creating demands supports many
other industries, such as, chemicals and dyes, packaging materials and engineering works.
