Indian Textiles and the World Market
India Textiles and the World Market : Around 1750 before the British conquered Bengal, India was by far the world’s largest producer of cotton textiles. Indian textiles had long been renewed 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.
( Patola weave, mid nineteenth century patola was woven in Surat, Ahemdabad, and Patna).
European traders first encountered fine cotton cloth from India carried by Arab merchants in Mosul in present-day Iraq. So they began referring to all finely woven textiles as “muslin”- a word that acquired wide currency. When the Portuguese first came to India in search of spices they landed in Calicut on the Kerala coast in south – west India. The cotton textiles which they took back to Europe, along with the spices, came to be called “calico” ( derived from Calicut), and subsequently calico became the general name for all cotton textiles. There are many other words which point to the popularity of Indian textile in Western market. The order that year was 5,89,000 pieces of cloth. Browsing through the order book you would have seen a list of 98 varities of cotton and silk clothes. These were known by their common name in the European trade as piece goods- usually woven cloth pieces that were 20 yards long and 1 yard wide.
