Detailed Solution

The East India Company appointed a paid servant, Gomastha, to supervise weavers. The Company's weavers were forbidden from engaging with any other buyers. The majority of these products were exported to Europe. Gomastha's major job was to keep an eye on the weavers and ensure they weren't selling their cotton to other traders.  The Gomasthas were the Indian agents of the British East India Company, who formed deals with artisans and local weavers to supply the company with commodities. These paid servants did not have close contact with the weavers and acted arrogantly with troops on their side, punishing those who were late with their service.
