Question: Which product in India dominated the international market before the age of machine industries?
Answer: Before the age of machine industries, silk and cotton were the goods that had dominated all the markets of the international arena. The cotton and textiles produced in other countries were coarse, and the one produced in India was very fine in quality, and thus the countries in the fertile crescent and the south Asian countries like Persia, Saudi Arabia and Germany traded goods from India across the seaports.
