After 1811, machine-made British textiles flooded our markets, wiping out lakhs of handloom weavers. Trade figures show a cruel reversal: by 1850, India went from top textile exporter to importing over 50% of Britain's cloth. My own mill stands on that history—we use power looms today, but the loss of those weavers' craft still haunts this industry. It's a reminder that progress shouldn't erase tradition.
