Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Some weavers specialise in producing coarse cloth, while others woven better types. The impoverished purchased the coarser cloth, and demand for it varied wildly. They could not purchase clothing during low harvests and famine when the rural poor had little to eat, and their monetary revenue dried up. Producers of finer types: Because the market for the finer varieties purchased by the wealthy was more steady, the producers of finer varieties were in a stronger position. Even when the people went hungry, the wealthy could afford these. The selling of Banarasi or Baluchari saris was unaffected by famines. Additionally, as you have seen, mills could not duplicate skilled weavers. The iconic Madras lungis and handkerchiefs, or saris with woven borders, could not be easily replaced by mill manufacture.
