"Then came the failure of the cotton crop. Several large commercial houses collapsed. Ismaili merchants lost large investments. Planters and buyers like Bandali Merali, Fazal Kassam, and Bandali Lalji of Morogoro incurred heavy losses. "

"Sisal estates were owned by men like Rajabali Meghji Visram, V. M. Nazerali, and Fazal Kassam. Bandali Merali, Fazal Kassam, and Bandali Lalji became cotton planters. But, as noted before, these were not prosperous times for cotton planters and sisal grow�ers. Full-time farmers like Yusufali M. Alidina and A. B. Ladhani were too few in number to be considered part of a general economic upsurge;"
