Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph on the Silk Fabrics of Bengal This Monograph has been prepared according to the directions contained in the Revenue Department Circular No. 10, dated the 29th November 1898, which requires that the Monograph "should give a complete review of all branches of the silk industry." All the other branches, however, have beep-treated here only as subsidiary to those of silk weaving and silk-fabrics, that the main character of the Monograph may be maintained. 2. The silk-weaving industry of Bengal is of greater magnitude than even the manufacture of raw silk, which forms the main staple of European export. From the Vedic times silk fabrics have been enjoined to Hindus for use on ceremonial occasions. One of the verses of the Rig Veda is referred to by orthodox pandits as enjoining the use of silk cloths for the marriage ceremony, and, as a matter of fact, Hindus all over India use silk cloths for every religious ceremony, and those who can afford it, regard it as incumbent on them to wear it daily at the time of worship. Foreign silks and silks containing an admixture of other fibres are prohibited for such ceremonial purposes, though as articles of luxury, foreign silks were in use even in ancient times. The use of unmixed silk is prohibited among Muhammadans, specially of the stronger sex, but they, as also the Parsis, use a good deal of cheap silk on ceremonial occasions, in imitation of the Hindus. The silk-manufacturing industry has thus a peculiar vitality of its own, which is not shared by the cotton-manufacturing industry, and the general notion that silk and cotton weaving industries of India have equally suffered and have suffered for the same reasons, is not correct. The recent decline in the silk-weaving industry is chiefly in the direction of foreign export. European countries no longer depend on Indian calicos and silks. But the manufacture of those fabrics which are required for native use continues as vigorously as ever, and the Census figures for 1901 show that the silk weaving industry of Bengal has had a remarkable development during the last decade. The costliest silks, embroidered with gold and silver threads, are not manufactured in Bengal, but chiefly in Benares. The raw material used, however, in the Benares looms, is largely imported from Bengal, and as the Benares embroidered silks are extensively used by the higher and middle classes of Bengal, the silk industry of Benares is intimately connected with that of Bengal. The same may be said of the silk-weaving industry (based on European principles) of Bombay, though the raw material in use in Bombay is largely derived from China also. Bombay silks are largely used by women of the middle classes of Bengal. But the whole rank and file of the Hindu population of Bengal and other parts of India have to use indigenous silk fairies on certain occasions, however coarse or cheap these fabrics may be, and it is for this reason that there is a large internal trade in silk fabrics, specially of the cheaper kinds. 3. The information for this Monograph has been derived from the following sources: - (1) The district reports or monographs based mainly on the personal observations of officers, usually of the grades of Covenanted Assistant Collectors and Uncovenanted Deputy Collectors who were specially deputed by their Collectors for the purpose of preparing these district monographs.

This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive socio-cultural history of crafts and crafts persons in pre-colonial Eastern India. It focuses on the technology of crafts as being integral to the traditional lives of the crafts persons and explores their cultural and social world. It offers an in-depth analysis of the complexities of craft technologies in the three sectors of cotton textile, sericulture and silk textile and mining and metallurgy in the regions of Bihar and Jharkhand in Eastern India in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Apart from technology, the book discusses a range of socio-economic themes including craft production systems; marketing and financing patterns; impact of contact with the world market; craft persons’ identities in terms of caste affiliations and group divisions; negotiations for upward caste mobility; contestations and dissent of lower castes; power and social stratification; functioning of caste panchayats; gender division of craft labour; myths, beliefs and religiosity attributed to craft usages; social and ritual traditions; and contemporary craft traditions. Rich in archival and diverse sources, including oral traditions, paintings, and findings from extensive field visits and interactions with crafts persons, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of crafts, medieval Indian history, social history, sociology and social anthropology, economic history, cultural history, science and technology studies, and South Asian studies. It will also interest government and non-governmental organisations, textile historians, craft and design specialists, contemporary craft industrial sector, and museums.
