1. Loss of local and
foreign market : British traders started bringing cheap machine made goods to
India. As a result the markets were flooded by cheap machine made goods and
demand for Indian textiles was reduced. At the same time the British levied
high duties on Indian goods in Britain so the Indian weavers lost the foreign
market also.
2. Loss of raw material : British took raw cotton from India.
So there was shortage of cotton for the weavers and they had to buy it at a
high cost.
3. Exploitation by the Gomasthas : The Gomasthas were
appointed by the government to supervise the weavers, to collect supplies and
examine the quality of cloth.
4. The weavers were forced to sell their goods at lower
prices and to work at lower wages.
5. The British started a system of advances : The weavers
took the advances to earn more. But they started losing even the small plots of
land which they cultivated.
