Introduction
The report brings out the discussion on the impact of Industrial Revolution on the Textile
industry of India, Coal, Iron, Steam, Tea, Silver, Opium, and steam. Industrial revolution was
mainly based on the evaluation and engagement of technology in the operations. This
revolution helped to introduce new technology in coal and steam industry so that it can result
to more production of goods. The revolution established many industries along with the
changing lifestyle of the people that diverted lifestyle to the urbanisation. The transportation
system of the Britain was improved largely as the system demanded to manage the supply of
goods and raw materials.
Industrial revolution
The industrial revolution was an economic and cultural shift for cottage, traditional
agricultural and labour-based industry or the factory-based industry, which include complex
equipment, usage of energy sources, and development in transport system. By the time from
1750, the industrial revolution focused on the urban factories rather than rural area that can
contribute to continuous technological growth. It was a revolution to promote the mechanical
growth by eradicating the human power. The change or the transition removed hand
production systems to machines, iron production processes, and chemical manufacturing
(Allen, 2015). The revolution started in Britain where a series of mechanical inventions were
introduced to increase the production of manufactured goods. Entrepreneurs started using
more complex and expensive machineries, which can perform the tasks in a speedy and more
efficiently manner as compared to labour output (Clark, Rourke, & Taylor, 2014).
Impact on cotton, steam and coal industry
Industries who have started opting advance machines are powered and operated by steam and
coal. These machines turned massive amount of goods. Small-scale industries turned into
large establishments by employing large number of employees and labour force. This
