Please give correct Answer

Answer 1

(i) No chance of bargaining : The weavers lost any chance of bargaining.

(ii) Leasing of land : Most of the weavers had to lease out the land and devote all their time to weaving. Weaving in fact, came to absorb the labour of the entire family.

(iii) Dependency for food on others: Most of the weavers after losing their land became dependent on others tor the food supplies.

(iv) Clashes with Gomasthas : The new Gomaszhcs were outsiders, with no long term social link with the village. So they acted arrogantly, marched into villages with the police, and punished weavers for delay in supply.

So. there were reports of clashes between weavers and Gomasthas.
