India provided Britain with Cotton and and Tea, by buying the raw materials that Britain could use to color and sell back to the people of India for a much higher price. They made it illegal for India to make their own cloth, and it plays in to Gandhi's peace marches and such. [: Hope that answers your question. Xx.
