What were the impacts of the Swadeshi and Boycott movements in India?please answer this question as much in detail as possible.....

Swadeshi and Boycott movement are two sides of the same
coin or the same social and political movement. It was a movement planned, launched and
directed by Mahatma Gandhi as an economic strategy to improve the economic conditions of
the artisans in India. Conditions of artisans in India had become extremely precarious
because of combined effect of competition from manufactured goods imported from Britain
and unfair policies and practices imposed by the British on India, that were designed to
benefit the British business at the cost of
Indians.

Swadeshi in Hindi language means "of ones own
country". It refers to the core strategy of the movement of using only the goods
manufactured in India., and boycotting or refusing to use imported goods. I am not sure
what reasoning  Mahatma Gandhi used in formulating this strategy. But now with our
advanced knowledge of economic concepts like opportunity cost and cost-benefit analysis,
we know that this strategy made a very good economic sense. It provided the poor
artisans a means to earn a livelihood. At the same time it helped the entire economy of
the country. These benefits were obtained in spite of the lower market price of
manufactured goods imported from Britain. In addition to helping the Indian  economy,
this strategy reduced the benefits British could extract by exploiting India. In this
way it reduced the determination of Britain to hold on to their rule over
India.

The swadeshi movement directly benefited the local
artisans and industries in India, and gave a boost to Indian Economy. In addition it
infused a spirit of nationalism among Indians. Particularly the Khadi movement, which
formed a part of swadeshi movement made a major contribution in this direction. Khadi
refers to coarse hand woven cloth made from hand spun yarn, and this movement involved
wearing only such cloth. This movement gave Indians a means for giving vent to their
nationalistic feeling, as well as a visible symbol of their determination to defy the
British. This helped to build a large and strong community of Indians openly displaying
their defiance and determination.
