Detailed Solution

Murshidabad is located on the banks of the Bhagirathi. The Indian subcontinent was dotted with small towns from the onset of the eighth century. These towns probably evolved from large villages and usually had mandapika and market streets.

Murshidabad (West Bengal), located on the banks of the Bhagirathi, rose to glory as a hub for silks and became Bengal’s capital in 1704. But, as the weavers faced competition from England’s cheap mill-made cloth, the town’s activity plummeted over the century.
