Through all the fights and intrigues and deceptions of her earlier history India had remained aloof. Because her homes, her fields, her temples of worship, her schools, where her teachers and students lived together in the atmosphere of simplicity and devotion and learning, her village self-government with its simple laws and peaceful administration - all these truly belonged to her. But her thrones were not her concern. They passed over her head like clouds, now tinged with purple gorgeousness, now black with the threat of thunder. Often they brought devastations in their wake, but they were like catastrophes of nature whose traces are soon forgotten.

But this time it was different. It was not a mere drift over her surface of life - drift of cavalry and foot soldiers, richly caparisoned elephants, white tents and canopies, strings of patient camels bearing the loads of royalty, bands of kettle drums and flutes, marble domes of mosques, palaces and tombs, like the bubble of the foaming wine of extravagance; stories of treachery and loyal devotion, of changes of fortune, of dramatic surprises of fate. This time it was the Nation of the West driving its tentacles of machinery deep down into the soil.

The merchant distributes the 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 weavers, this arrangement seemingly 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. The weaver knows from the outset what cloth he should make and how much of it is woven. However, this dependence on merchants both, for raw materials and markets means that the merchants have a lot of power. They give orders for what is to be made and they pay a very low price for making the cloth. The weavers have no way of knowing who they are making the cloth for or at what price it will be sold.

भाषा की शक्ति कठिन नहीं, आसान शब्दों के प्रयोग से निखरती है I भाषा का सौंदर्य तब बढ़ता है, जब लेखक उन सभी शब्दों को सहानुभूति से देखता है जो जनता की जीभ पर चढ़े हुए हैं। कोई भी शब्द केवल इसलिए ग्राह नहीं होता है कि वह संस्कृत-भंडार का है, न शब्दों का अनादर केवल इसलिए उचित है कि वेया फारसी पार्टी के शब्द भंडार से आए हैं I जो भी शब्द प्रचलित भाषा में चल रहे हैं, जो भी शब्द सुगम, सुंदर और अर्थपूर्ण हैं, साहित्यिक भाषा भी उन्हीं शब्दों को लेकर काम करती है, यह विचार आज भी समीचीन समझा जाता है।
