Read the passage and write the reasons for the sad plight of Indian textiles. One widowed spinner wrote
in 1828 to a Bengali newspaper, Samachar Darpan, detailing her plight: "To the Editor, Samachar, I am a
spinner. After having suffered a great deal, I am writing this letter. Please publish this in your paper... When we
were on the verge of starvation, God showed me a way by which we could save ourselves. I began to spin on
takli and charkha... The weavers used to visit our houses and buy the charkha yarn at three tolas per rupee.
Whatever amount I wanted as advance from the weavers, I could get for the asking... Now for 3 years, we two
women, mother-in-law and me, are in want of food. The weavers do not call at the house for buying yarn. Not
only this, if the yarn is sent to market, it is still not sold even at one-fourth the old prices. I do not know how it
happened. I asked many about it. They say that Bilati 2 yarn is being imported on a large scale. The weavers
buy that yarn and weave... People cannot use the cloth out of this yarn even for two months; it rots away..."
