Question

What made Asim supply his embroidered pieces at a less than the usual rate to the local trader?

Answer 1

Asim had to borrow a loan from the local trader since he wanted to arrange the marriage of his daughter. In return, he was compelled to make a promise to the trader of selling his future Chikankari pieces at Rs 75 per piece to him, which was Rs 25 less per piece than the market rate. Thus, Asim had to supply his embroidered pieces at a less rate than the usual to the local trader.
