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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dyeing Silk, Mixed Silk Fabrics and Artificial Silks There is no lack of works on Dyeing in general, but unless they are extremely voluminous and expensive, they cannot treat the different branches of the industry with the desired thoroughness. Consequently, the practical man, wherever this is possible, turns to a special work in which he can find sufficient information on all the requisite details of his particular subject. Such works specially devoted to the dyeing of silk are rare, and it is to fill this gap that the present book has been written. Based on a practice of more than twenty years as a teacher, and the experience gained thereby, the author has treated all the material dealing with this special branch in a readily comprehensive manner, and thus placed in the hands of the silk dyer a book that will be useful.

Download or read book Traditional Industry in the Economy of Colonial India written by Tirthankar Roy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of workers in South Asia are employed in industries that rely on manual labour and craft skills. Some of these industries have existed for centuries and survived great changes in consumption and technology over the last 150 years. In earlier studies, historians of the region focused on mechanized rather than craft industries, arguing that traditional manufacturing was destroyed or devitalized during the colonial period, and that modern industry is substantially different. Exploring new material from research into five traditional industries, Tirthankar Roy s book contests these notions, demonstrating that while traditional industry did evolve during the Industrial Revolution, these transformations had a positive rather than destructive effect on manufacturing generally. In fact, the book suggests, the major industries in post-independence India were shaped by such transformations. Tirthankar Roy s book offers new and penetrating insights into India s economic and social history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
