At first, you might as well start writing the \u201cHOW\u201d part, despite it not being asked in the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first step towards writing an answer. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE QUESTION WELL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the exam hall, we take one look at the question &#8211; see the keyword, and start writing whatever we know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But to ensure that we are writing the right things, we need to build this habit of understanding what the question is demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be able to answer \u201cWHY\u201d parts rather than \u201cWHAT &amp; HOW\u201d, is the real test of in-depth understanding. While reading a topic, you need not just read how things happened, but rather why things happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decline of Indian handicrafts under British colonial seemed to be a deliberate policy of destruction. This destruction was a consequence of various economic, political, and cultural factors inherent in colonialism. Here&#8217;s why this happened:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The Agenda of Industrialization<\/strong> &#8211; The British promotion of industrialization in India was to serve their interest primarily. They wanted to increase the profits of British industries &amp; traders, who helped the Company! Thus, they imposed tariffs, duties, &amp; other restrictions on locally produced handicrafts!<\/li><li><strong>Mercantilist Policies<\/strong> &#8211; The Britishers aimed to accumulate wealth! Indian Handicrafts &#8211; for them, was a hindrance to this agenda! They didn\u2019t want these local industries to compete with their manufactured goods!<\/li><li><strong>Cultural Superiority<\/strong> &#8211;&nbsp; The British Colonial Mindset viewed Indian culture including Indian Handicrafts as backward compared to British Culture. British administrators encouraged adopting consumption patterns &amp; lifestyle &#8211; eroding the demands of Indian Handicrafts!<\/li><li><strong>Taking hold of Social Life<\/strong> &#8211; The British colonial administration sought to control Indian society &amp; ensure their dominance! Disrupting traditional economic structures like Handicrafts, meant exerting control over the local population!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>British wanted economic dependency which would help them govern India while extracting resources to their benefit!<br><br>The UPSC CSE Exam is not your university level exam &#8211; you don\u2019t get marks for filling the pages!<br><br>Instead, what UPSC demands is in-depth understanding &#8211; the focus on\u00a0YOUR UNDERSTANDING of the topic &#8211; of course after knowing the context!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We fulfill these requirements in our GS Integrated Batch, where Uttam Sir takes you through the depth in History!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the following for details!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full
