Answer:

Harappan Civilization and weavers in India

Farmers in the Indus valley were the first to spin and weave cotton. In 1929, archaeologists recovered fragments of cotton textiles at Mohenjo-Daro, in what is now Pakistan, dating to between 3250 and 2750 BCE, tracing the History of weavers in India. Literary references, further point to the ancient nature of the subcontinent’s cotton industry. Empire of Cotton goes on to show how the cotton industry, which India dominated in the early 18th century, was taken over by the British, how it spurred the slave trade with the Americans and the industrial revolution, its role – a century in the independence movement and Gandhi’s spinning wheel, and how it once again returned to Asia in a big way at the end of the 20th century. It is highly likely that the development of textile crafts were a key component of the Indus civilization’s rise as well.
