Crops for Europe

Besides collecting farm revenues, the British realised that they could use Indian villages to grow crops like opium and indigo which were in big demand at Europe.

They also forced farmers to produce jute in Bengal, tea in Assam, sugarcane in Uttar Pradesh, wheat in Punjab, cotton in Maharashtra and Punjab, and rice in Madras.

Does Colour Have a History?

This image above is of a floral cotton print designed and produced by Willian Marris, the famous British poet and artist. The rich blue colour in it is known as indigo, because it was produced from a plant called indigo.

In the 19th century, India was the biggest supplier of high-quality indigo in the world, but Italy, France, and Britain had been the major buyers and exporters of Indian indigo for hundreds of years before that.
