Correct Answer: All of the above
Solution : The correct option is All of the above.
Indian handicrafts faced tough competition from mass-produced British goods, leading to a decline in demand for traditional Indian crafts. With the decline of princely courts and the loss of their patronage, the financial support for traditional crafts diminished, impacting the livelihoods of artisans. The British implemented policies that favoured British industries over Indian handicrafts. Import duties, taxation, and trade policies were structured in a way that disadvantaged traditional Indian crafts.
