During the 180’s to 1930’s both India and Japan underwent the mechanization of the cotton industry. Between both these countries there were some similarities and differences of this process. But i believe that Japan mechanized alter than India due to the importance of women from farming families to work at textile factories.
(Documents 3,5,9)
In documents 3,5 and 9 they talk about the condition of the labor the people who worked at the textile factories had to go through even with the mechanizing of the textile factory. For example in document 3 and 9, they say that the workers are paid small amounts of money and have to work ~ 2 years. Regardless of how much cotton each country produces, the wages and condition the workers are put through …show more content…
For example in documents 1 and 2 you can clearly see that India has made more yarn than japan since 1884 to 1914. For example in the year 1884 in Japan (both hand-spun and machine-spun yarn) they produced only 5 million pounds of yarn. But in Indian combining both hand-spun yarn and machine-spun yarn combined is 301 million pounds. That's 60 times more than the japanese produced. Also there are some key differences on how quickly the countries adapted to using machines to spin yarn. In documents 8 and 10 it shows the type of way the countries are producing yarn japan and india respectively, (japan is doc 8 and india is doc 10). In doc 8 you can clearly see workers(mostly female) using LOOMS TO SPIN YARN BY HAND IN THE 1920’s. Unlike the Indians(mostly male) in document 10 which were using MACHINES TO SPIN YARN IN THE 19030’s. This decade may have an effect on why the difference of looms and machines but by this point in history(referring to documents 1 and 2) both Japan and India are familiar with using the machines to spin cotton. Finally, in document 7, you can see the difference of females working in these factories. This is occurring because is document 4 the buddhist priest tell us that farmers are extremely dependant on the women who work at the factory and bring home money for food since 60% of their crops go to
