Detailed Solution

Khostis were a community of weavers.
Weavers are skilled craftsmen who weave cloth and fabric. Weavers led simple lives in many villages. They make little money and work long hours. Thread is used in the production of material by interlacing threads. They do an outstanding job for us. In addition, they are both highly talented artists. Handloom production has a caste relationship in western Orissa, with many caste groups involved. According to written evidence, the Ganda community and the Pankas and doms contributed to 80% of total productivity in Western Orissa. Following that, the Bhulia caste finished second in terms of handloom output. The Khostis finished last because the Mahar and Kuli were treated similarly to the Khosti community in Western Orissa.
