Answer:

Mughal Empire attempt to industrialize through textile industry

It resist industrialization due to local supply-side forces—such as political fragmentation.

Step-by-step explanation:

India was a major player in the world export market for textiles in the early 18th century, but by the middle of the 19th century it had lost all of its export market and much of its domestic market, primarily to Britain. The ensuing deindustrialization was greatest c1750–c1860. India’s deindustrialization was due to local supply-side forces—such as political fragmentation because local supply side forces were important from as early as 1700.
