Textiles’ – the word brings up images of beautiful drapes
|

Textiles’ – the word brings up images of beautiful drapes – cotton, silk, chiffon, lace. Whether it is the material draped on the figurine of the lady from Mohenjadaro, the stylish drapes of Cleopatra, the ball dance gowns of the Victorian Era or the lovely dresses worn by our own queens and princesses – clothes have always been an integral part of a person’s life. Different types of textiles have been worn through the ages – natural fibres like cotton, jute and silk and man-made fibres like rayon, chiffon and muslin.
Indian textiles are known world over for their beautiful colours and designs. No other country in the world has such a close connection between its diverse culture and wide-ranging textile tradition as India. Be it Bandhani of Rajasthan, Kantha of Bengal,Tanchoi of Gujarat or Kanjivaram of Tamil Nadu, each of these textiles has a distinct hallmark of regional culture and tradition. Banarasi silk, Odisha silk, Tassar, Moonga and Chanderi are brands known and accoladed all over the world.
India has always been at the forefront in the production and use of cotton textiles. Historically, cotton was the cloth of the common man, either as dhoti, kurta, saree or lehenga. As a major producer of cotton, the cotton textile industry was so prominent at one time that it became a threat to the cotton industries of Great Britian. So much so, that the British, in order to save their own textile manufacturing, had to bring in various policies to stop Indian cotton textiles from reaching the world and force Indian consumers to buy their own cotton textiles. These practices of the British government became a major factor in the rise of the national movement. It also saw the birth of Khadi as an icon of independence
