Answer 1

Answer:

The sword had an incredibly hard and sharp edge that could easily rip through the opponent's armour. This quality of the sword came from a special type of high carbon steel called Wootz which was produced all over south India.

Indian textiles declined in the nineteenth century, and thousands of Indian weavers and spinners lost their livelihood.

Chintz: This name is derived from a Hindi word chhint, a cloth with small and colourful floral designs.
