Last week, I came across three volumes of a new and ambitious encyclopedia on the history of Indian Science and Technology, a project promoted by Rajiv Malhotra of the Infinity Foundation, USA. It quotes Samuel Huntington writing the following in his much-discussed book Clash of Civilisations.
"In 1750, China accounted for almost one-third, India for almost one-quarter and the West for a less than a fifth of the world's manufacturing output%uFFFD In the following decades, the industrialisation of the West led to the de-industrialisation of the world."
Mr.Advani,who gave this information, What was the products of indian industrialisation of that period,Accepted europeans wanted the raw materials like cotton and silk or the spices from kerala.

He has given a statement and references. Why don't you do some searching and reading instead of making hollow howlers? India manufactured diamonds, jewellery, silk clothes, agricultural produce and much more. Definition of manufacture is 'making of articles'. Perhaps you are under the impression that only 'industries' manufactured goods.
