What do you understand by the term deindustrialization during the colonial rule? 

The process of de-industrialisation is an economic change in which employment in the manufacturing sector declines due to various economic or political reasons. The decline in employment in manufacturing is also followed by the fall in the share of manufacturing value added in GDP.

In other words, the term de-industrialisation means a general reduction in the industrial capacity and came into prevalence in India with the decline and collapse of the handicrafts industry by external competition from British-manufactured products during the 19th century.

The initial concept of Indian de-industrialisation was introduced by Sir William Bentinck who acted as the Governor-General of India between 1833 and 1835.
