This paper explores the intersection of caste and the textile industry in Bengal during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focusing on how caste-based societal structures influenced occupational specialization and production dynamics. The division of labor in textile production was deeply intertwined with caste hierarchies, with specific endogamous groups specializing in tasks such as spinning, weaving, embroidery, and finishing. Drawing on census records, ethnographic accounts, and historical surveys by scholars like H.H. Risley and Dr. James Wise, this study examines how geographical positioning and economic incentives shaped the localization and adaptability of caste-based professions. It also investigates the migration of weaving communities and the social consequences of occupational changes within caste hierarchies. By analyzing the persistence and evolution of caste-based roles in the textile industry, this paper contributes to understanding the socio-economic fabric of early modern Bengal. It offers insights into the broader implications of caste in South Asian occupational histories.
