The collapse of the weaving industry in eighteenth-century Bengal has been the subject of considerable controversy. Drawing on newly discovered eighteenth-century Bengali manuscripts that contain the East India Company's correspondence, account books, and deeds of agreement with weavers, Hossain here suggests that the decline of the weaving industry was largely a result of the Company's attempt to enforce lower wages and maintain strict control over the weavers.
