Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Textile manufacturing played a major role in the industrial revolution. The production and increase of cloth climbed quickly because it changed from handlooms to factories and machines, which allowed for more time to be spent on other things, so output increased rapidly.

Detailed explanation-2: -India’s contemporary textile revolution did not begin until the construction of Fort Gloster near Calcutta at the beginning of the nineteenth century. However, the cotton textile business began in Bombay in the 1850s. A Parsi cotton merchant interested in both domestic and international trade founded it in 1854.

Detailed explanation-3: -The industrial revolution started in Great Britain in the mid-1700s. Textile production was the first great industry created. The textile industry in America began in New England during the late 18th century.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cotton was a main raw material of the industrial revolution. Its strong fibres were uniquely suited to the hard mechanical treatment in the spinning machinery.

Detailed explanation-5: -Before the Industrial Revolution, textiles were produced under the putting-out system, in which merchant clothiers had their work done in the homes of artisans or farming families. Production was limited by reliance on the spinning wheel and the hand loom; increases in output required more hand workers at each stage.
