Establish relationship between market and equality.

Answer
Market and Equality:
The foreign businessperson made huge profits in the market.
The garment exporter made only moderate profits.
On the other hand, the workers at the garment export factory earn barely enough to cover their day-to-day needs.
In the same way, we saw the small cotton farmer and the weaver at Erode put in long hours of hard work. But they did not get a fair price in the market for their produce.
The merchants or traders are somewhere in between.
In comparison to the weavers they have earned more but it is still much less than the exporters.
Thus, not everyone gains equally in the market.
Democracy is also about getting a fair wage in the market. Whether it is Kanta or Swapna, if families don’t earn enough then they can't live with dignity.
They cannot think of themselves as equal to others.
