Detailed Solution

The Jajmani system was related to Artistains.
For the villagers, the artisans who worked in the villages' rural areas created everyday necessities. Blacksmiths, carpenters, potters, and shoemakers were the village's most important craftspeople. To meet the inhabitants' demands for survival, they manufactured the most basic equipment, such as farming implements. The number of artisans also rose, as did their affluence, with the expansion of long-distance trade. In addition to the craftspeople from the villages who were reliant on the Jajmani system, a number of independent craftspeople who produced goods for long-distance or medium-distance trade also emerged. The shift from a subsistence-based economy to a money economy is also something we notice. As correctly noted by Tapan Roy Choudari, "Exchange had made substantial inroads into the subsistence-oriented system of manufacture by collectively maintained artisans by the 17th century, if not much earlier. The more common practise of distributing fixed shares of the rural products or land to the artisan families coexisted with payments in cash and kind for additional labour or fully on a piece work basis.
