This law was called \u2018Calico Act\u2019.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff\">Question 3<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWhat is a \u2018spinning jenny\u2019?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924\">Solution:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIn 1764, the spinning jenny was invented by John Kaye which increased the productivity of the traditional spindles. The spinning jenny is a multi-spool spinning wheel. The device dramatically reduced the amount of work needed to produce yarn. A single worker was able to work eight or more spools at once.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff\">Question 4<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nName some weaver\u2019s community in India.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924\">Solution:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nSome of the weaver\u2019s community in India were \u2026<br \/>\nThe tanti weavers of Bengal<br \/>\nThe julahas or momin weavers of north India,<br \/>\nSale and kaikollar and devangs of south India<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff\">Question 5<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWhat were the advantages that Indian weavers had?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924\">Solution:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIndian weaver knew the art of weaving intricate designs. This was not possible in weaving machines that produced cloth in England. There was a great demand for the intricately woven cloth by the rich and middle-class in India.<br \/>\nIndians had another advantage also. They produced a very coarse variety of cloth that was cheap and was used by the poor people in India. There was a constant demand for this variety of cloth also.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff\">Question 6<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWere the weavers given any importance during the national movement?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924\">Solution:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWeavers were given a lot of importance during the national movement. During the national movement, Mahatma Gandhi urged people to boycott imported textiles and use hand-spun and hand-woven cloth. Khadi gradually became a symbol of nationalism. The charkha came to represent India, and it was put at the centre of the tricolour flag of the Indian National Congress adopted in 1931.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff\">Question 7<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWhen were cotton mills started in India?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924\">Solution:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIn 1854 the first cotton mill in India was set up as a Spinning mill in Bombay. By 1900, over 84 mills started operating in Bombay. Many of these were established by Parsi and Gujarati businessmen who had made their money through trade with China.<br \/>\nIn 1861 the first mill in was started in Ahmedabad. In 1862 the first mill was started in Kanpur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weavers Iron Smelters and Factory Owner NCERT Class 8 History SST Extra Questions Weavers Iron Smelters and Factory Owner NCERT [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"\"Get Weavers Iron Smelters and Factory Owner NCERT Class 8 History SST Extra Questions on Infinity Learn.\"","custom_permalink":"study-material-ncert\/class-8\/history\/weavers-iron-smelters-and-factory-owner-ncert-class-8-history-sst-extra-questions\/"},"categories":[92,117,21],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
