What the British and zamindar exposed in their descriptions of such protests, despite their labeling of the weavers according to játi, was the distinct possibility that weavers had decided that they could act precisely because they were upset with their status as weavers in relation to the Company's system, and not solely because they were Dévángas, or Sális for that matter. ❋ Unknown (2001)

But the zamindar seemed to need more than a protest against a loom tax to explain why there was unrest. ❋ Unknown (2001)

As with the British, for the zamindar, játi was a convenient basis to explain actions by weavers or others who should normally have been controllable. ❋ Unknown (2001)
