Cotton Textiles
Cotton Textiles
Cotton Textiles: it is a fiber of industrial revolution: Cotton fabrics are used for garments as well as interior textiles. In the 19th Century cotton became fashionable among the Europeans. One reason might have been the exotic quality of the fibre. Cotton was cultivated far away from the European consumers and exported over long distances. Cotton was a main raw material of the industrial revolution. Its strong fibres were uniquely suited to the hard mechanical treatment in the spinning machinery.

The fibre was cultivated in the colonies in India and the Middle East and in the USA, where until 1860 it was produced largely by slave labour. The import to Norway went through British and German harbours.
Cotton exists in many qualities. The fabrics might be lightweight or dense. Thin and airy cotton fabrics are ideal for summer clothes and dense wind-proof textiles for stormy autumn days. Cotton fabrics are used for garments as well as interior textiles.
In the 19th Century cotton became fashionable among the Europeans. One reason might have been the exotic quality of the fibre. Cotton was cultivated far away from the European consumers and exported over long distances. Cotton was something new and different compared with traditional wool, used in Europe for centuries. Many physicians warned about medical problems by the use of cotton dresses. Woollen fabrics were presumed to be healthier in our cold and moist weather.
Indian merchants started building cotton milk in Bombay and the, surrounding areas by the middle of the 19th century. The first cotton mill was set up in Bombay in 1854 by Cowasjee Nanabhai. The next one came up in Ahmadabad in 1861. Ahmadabad soon became the second most important centre for textiles, closely followed by Madras. By the end of the 19th century, British capitalists opened many more cotton mills in places like Kanpur, Sholapur and Nagpur. But these mills had to face stiff competition from British mills, which had the support of the British government.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
