प्रश्न
In what ways are weavers dependent on cloth merchants?
उत्तर
The merchant distributes work among the weavers based on the orders he has received for cloth. The weavers get the yam from the merchant and supply him with the cloth.
The dependence on the merchants both for raw materials and markets means that the merchants have a lot of power. They give orders for what is to be made and they pay a very low price for making the cloth. In these ways, the weavers are dependent on cloth merchants.
