AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Clashes broke out because gomasthas were outsiders who behaved arrogantly, marched in with sepoys, and beat weavers for delays, while weavers also lost the right to bargain or sell to other buyers.
The key points examiners look for are: (1) gomasthas were outsiders with no social bond with weavers, (2) their harsh/arrogant behaviour (flogging, beating), and (3) weavers' loss of bargaining power. Even for 1 mark, mentioning two of these reasons briefly scores full marks.
