Answer:

Around 1750, before the British conquered Bengal, India was by far the world’s largest producer of

cotton textiles. Indian textiles had long been renowned both for their fine quality and exquisite

craftsmanship. They were extensively traded in Southeast Asia (Java, Sumatra and Penang) and West

and Central Asia. From the sixteenth century European trading companies began buying Indian

textiles for sale in Europe.

WORDS TELL US HISTORIES

Muslin: All fine women cloths carried by Arab Merchants from Mosul (Iraq) referred as ‘Muslin’ by

European traders.

Calico: Cotton textlies which were bought from Calicut along with spieces were called Calico by

Europeans.

There are many other words such as Dungarees, Chintz, Taffeta, Cossaes (Khassa) and Bandanna

(brightly colored Scarf) which point to the popularity of Indian textiles in Western markets.

The Patola weave of Surat, Ahmedabad and Paton had high value in Indonesia.

Jamdani was fine muslin on which decorative motifs were women on the loom, typically in grey

and white. Often a mixture of cotton and gold thread was used. The most important centres of

jamdani weaving were Dacca in Bengal and Lucknow in the United Provinces.

Printined desing on fine cloth chintz produced in Masulipatnam, Andhra Pradesh were exported to

Iran and Europe.

From the 1680s; there started a craze for printed Indian cotton textlies in England and Europe mainly

for their exquisite floral designs, fine texture and relative cheapness. Rich people of England

including the Queen herself wore clothes of Indian fabric.
