Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The weavers were unable to negotiate. Land leasing became quite popular. Weavers had to lease their land to others for farming because they were very occupied with weaving. Conflicts with Gomasthas started to happen often. For example, when there was a delay in the supply of products, the Gomasthas would frequently beat the weavers and act haughtily. The weavers no longer did farming. As a result, they were forced to rely on market sources to buy food to survive. Additionally, if they rented it out, the meagre return they received would not have been sufficient to support the entire family.
The correct statement would be, Indian weavers were affected by industrialisation in India.
