Frequently Asked Questions on 7th Civics Chapter 8
How is cotton grown in the field?
Farmers grow cotton on their piece of land. The bolls of the cotton plant are ripe and some have already burst, so they pick the cotton bolls. The bolls, which carry the cotton in them, do not burst open all at once so it takes several days to harvest the cotton.
What are the main difficulties in growing cotton?
Cultivation of cotton requires high levels of inputs such as fertilisers and pesticides and the farmers have to incur heavy expenses on account of these. Most often, the small farmers need to borrow money to meet these expenses.
Describe Erode’s cloth market?
Erode’s bi-weekly cloth market in Tamil Nadu is one of the largest cloth markets in the world. A large variety of cloth is sold in this market. Cloth that is made by weavers in the villages around is also brought here for sale. Around the market are offices of cloth merchants who buy this cloth. Other traders from many south Indian towns also come and purchase cloth in this market.
What are the advantages for weavers in cloth making?
The merchant distributes work among the weavers based on the orders he has received for cloth. The weavers get the yarn from the merchant and supply him the cloth. For the weavers, this arrangement has two advantages. The weavers do not have to spend their money on purchase of yarn. Also, the problem of selling the finished cloth is taken care of. Weavers know from the outset what cloth they should make and how much of it is to be woven.
Cotton industry provides employment, but the poor farmers that grow cotton are still poor. Comment.
On one hand, the market offers people opportunities for work and to be able to sell things that they grow or produce. It could be the farmer selling cotton or the weaver producing cloth. On the other hand, it is usually the rich and the powerful that get the maximum earnings from the market. These are the people who have money and own the factories, the large shops, large land holdings, etc. The poor have to depend on the rich and the powerful for various things.
