Download or read book Precious Threads and Precarious Lives written by Amit Kumar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the hitherto unexplored history of the shawl and silk industries of the himalyan state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It focuses on the three processes – production, circulation, and consumption – of the textile industry of the region to highlight its socio-economic and political importance in 19th- and 20th-century Kashmir. Using the micro-history approach, it studies the sites of production – the home looms or the small karkhana – efficiency of labour, and innovations by weavers in their techniques to suit the demands of the market. It also locates the impact colonialism had on transforming the labour economy in the Kashmir textile industry. Further, it compares these karkhanas with the Scottish factories or home looms to illuminate many sites of difference and comparison between the working styles and technologies. Mapping a history as complex as the weave on the finest Kashmiri shawl, this book brings to life the interface between culture, commodity, and colonial networks. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, colonial and imperial history, cultural studies, and economic and labour history.
Download or read book Small Town Capitalism in Western India written by Douglas E. Haynes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the history of artisan production and marketing in the Bombay Presidency from 1870 to 1960. While the textile mills of western India's biggest cities have been the subject of many rich studies, the role of artisan producers located in the region's small towns have been virtually ignored. Based upon extensive archival research as well as numerous interviews with participants in the handloom and powerloom industries, this book explores the role of weavers, merchants, consumers and laborers in the making of what the author calls 'small-town capitalism'. By focusing on the politics of negotiation and resistance in local workshops, the book challenges conventional narratives of industrial change. The book provides the first in-depth work on the origins of powerloom manufacture in South Asia. It affords unique insights into the social and economic experience of small-town artisans as well as the informal economy of late colonial and early post-independence India.
Download or read book The Silk Industry and Trade written by Ratan C. Rawlley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silk Industry and Trade: A Study in the Economic Organization of the Export Trade of Kashmir and Indian Silks, With Special Reference to Their Utilization in the British and French Markets The present volume is intended to be an elementary intro duction to my Economics of the Silk Industry. It embodies the results of an inquiry into the organization of the export trade of Kashmir and Indian silks, with special reference to their utilization in Great Britain and France. In under taking this work, my principal object was to discover the exact requirements of the silk market and to present a general analysis of the facts to the interested parties. In doing this, I have pointed out a new source of supply for the consumer of raw silk and a new outlet for the producer. If India's resources of silk are to be developed on a com mercial scale, they must find an outlet. The results of personal investigations outlined in this work clearly show what this outlet ought to be. The inquiry was conducted mainly on commercial and economic lines, and covered nearly all the principal silk centres in this country and in France. It is gratifying to note that everywhere my investigations met with success, and almost all the manufacturers, merchants and brokers showed great interest in the subject. I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to all who helped me in my investigations. I am particularly obliged to Professor Lefroy, whose perfect knowledge of the Indian silk industry I used in formulating the lines of my inquiry. Sir Frank Warner, the then President of the British Silk Association, gave me valuable information with regard to the different aspects of the British silk industry.

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.

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.

Download or read book The Global World of Indian Merchants 1750 1947 written by Claude Markovits and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-22 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claude Markovits tells the story of two groups of Hindu merchants from the towns of Shikarpur and Hyderabad in the province of Sind. Basing his account on previously neglected archival sources, the author charts the development of these communities, from the pre-colonial period through colonial conquest and up to independence, describing how they came to control trading networks throughout the world. While the book focuses on the trade of goods, money and information from Sind to the widely dispersed locations of Kobe, Panama, Bukhara and Cairo, it also throws light on the nature of trading diasporas from South Asia in their interaction with the global economy. This is a sophisticated and accessible book, written by one of the most distinguished economic historians in the field. It will appeal to scholars of South Asia, as well as to colonial historians and to students of religion.
