What made Swapna sell the cotton to the trader instead of selling at the Kurnool cotton market?
Swapna sold the cotton to the local trader instead of the Kurnool cotton market because she had borrowed ₹2,500 from him at the beginning of the cropping season to cover the high costs of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. The trader imposed a condition that Swapna sells all her cotton to him as part of the loan agreement. Despite knowing she could potentially get a better price at the Kurnool market, her dependency on the trader for financial support and other needs compelled her to sell to him.

Explain the concept of the "putting-out" system as seen in the cloth market of Erode. How does this system affect the weavers?
The "putting-out" system in the cloth market of Erode involves merchants distributing work among weavers, who receive yarn and return finished cloth. This system saves weavers the cost of yarn and solves selling issues, but creates dependence on merchants for materials and markets. Merchants control prices and demand, paying weavers low rates for their products. This arrangement limits weavers' earnings and perpetuates their economic vulnerability, making them dependent on the merchants' terms.
Discuss the benefits and challenges of forming a weaver's cooperative. How does this model attempt to improve the earnings and working conditions of weavers?
