The differences between the overlapping difference and cross-cutting difference are as mentioned below:
Overlapping difference:-
(i) Overlapping difference leads to social divisions.
(ii) Overlapping differences are difficult to Accommodate.
(iii) There is much difference between two groups e.g., in the US, Blacks are poor, homeless and discriminated. In India, Dalits are poor and landless.
cross-cutting difference:-
(i) It is difficult to pit one group of people against the other because different groups share a common interest on one issue but are likely to be on different sides on different issues’
(ii) Cross-cutting differences are easier to accumulate.
(iii) There is no difference between two groups e.g., in Netherlands Catholics and Protestants are equally poor as well as rich.
It is true that a person has more than one identity and can belong to more than one social group' For example, there are people of different communities in every religion. A person may be a Hindu, belonging to upper caste or lower caste, rich or poor, a labourer or a landlord, literate or illiterateRead more
It is true that a person has more than one identity and can belong to more than one social group’ For example, there are people of different communities in every religion. A person may be a Hindu, belonging to upper caste or lower caste, rich or poor, a labourer or a landlord, literate or illiterate. It is also possible that people from different religions may have the same caste and feel close to each-other. Thus a person has more than one identity and can belong to more than one social group.
All of us have identities in different contexts e.g., at home, in school, in the city, nation and internationally. For example at home you could be a son, in school a student, in city a resident of your colony and so on. A person has an identity by birth i.e., female, tall and dark but is urban if he lives in a city’ Therefore, different identities are possible in different contexts.

Even before setting up of the factories, there was large-scale industrial production for an international market. This was not based on factories. It is known as proto-industrialisation. It was a part of a network of commercial exchanges. Merchants were based in towns but the work was done mostly in the countryside. It was controlled by merchants. The goods were produced by a vast number of producers working within their family farms, not in factories. At each stage of production 20 to 25 workers were employed by each merchant. Thus, each clothier was controlling hundreds of workers.

The East India Company appointed gomasthas to supervise weavers in India. After establishing its political power in India, East India Company went a step further i.e., to establish a monopoly right to trade. The company tried to eliminate the existing traders and brokers connected with the cloth trade, and establish a more direct control over the weavers. It, therefore, appointed gomastha, a paid servant to supervise weavers, collect supplies, and examine the quality of cloth. The weavers, who had taken advances from the company, had to handover the cloth they produced to the gomastha. The gomasthas did a good job for the Company but the condition of weavers became worse because they did not receive good price from the Company and the loans tied them to the Company. They could not sell cloth to other buyers.

The port of Surat declined by the end of the eighteenth century. Before the industrialisation, silk and cotton goods from India dominated the international market in textiles. Sea-trade operated through the main-pre-colonial ports, such as Surat which connected India to the Gulf and Red Sea Ports. However, as the European companies gained power, the old ports like Surat declined because the European companies had made Bombay and Calcutta the centers of their trade activities. The trade of the European companies was carried out in European ships. This resulted in the collapse of many of the old trading houses. Exports from
Surat fell dramatically. In the last years of the seventeenth century, the gross value of trade that passed through Surat had been ₹16 million by the 1740s it declined to ₹3 million.
