Answer 1

2. There were clashes between the weavers and gomasthas because they were outsiders for the weavers without and social or personal bonding with them. Their main objective was to have the maximum production of goods. This led to a cruel behaviour towards weavers and gomasthas punished them with exploitative solutions to the problems faced by weavers.
