    2. Economic Causes:

      1. The British Government restrictions on the import of Indian textiles besides imposing heavy import duties on such goods.
      2. India was forced to export raw materials like raw cotton and raw silk at cheaper rates that the British industries needed urgently; plantation products (like indigo, tea); and food grains which were in short supply in Britain.
      3. The British Company confiscated the jagirs of many landlords and taluqdars.
