Answer 1

Answer:

1)Indigo got its name because of its origin in the Indus Valley, discovered some 5,000 years ago (or circa 3000 BCE), where it was called nīlā, meaning dark blue and by the 7th Century BCE, people started using the plant for producing the blue dye (Kriger and Connah, 2006).

2)The British presence in India began through trade. Men like Robert Clive of the British East India Company combined military prowess with a ruthless ambition and became fabulously wealthy. With wealth came power, and traders took control of huge swathes of India. This clip is from the series Empire.
