OUR STORIES....OUR VOICES

In 1759 the ban against Chintz was lifted after the French and English mills were able to produce it on their own. Europeans at first produced reproductions of Indian designs, and later added original patterns. A well-known make was toile de Jouy, which was manufactured in Jouy, France, between 1700 and 1843. On the back of this success, the Lancashire textile mills became the very engine driving the English industrial revolution. The British policy transformed India from an exporter of textiles to a supplier of raw cotton for Lancashire factories using brutal tactics.

Almost unthinkable today, but when the British came, India was a sober nation! Durant tell us...Instead of encouraging education, the government encouraged drink. The book #CaseforIndia which should be compulsory reading for Indians remains completely out of our view. It gives us a blow-by-blow account of almost every excruciating detail of the evilest Empire the world has ever seen. In this series, we look at how it all unfolded, in bite-size facts.

Shitala is a fascinating read. After all, as observed by great Mark Twain, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” *𝐃𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐯 𝐒𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲: 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭? 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.* Mitra Desai combines ineluctable historic facts cocooned inside the story of a family that could be almost any Indian family. It is woven around a delightful story in exactly the same way that our own Indian epics and narratives inform us of our past via the medium of enchanting stories. Thank you for writing this Mitra Desai. I recommend this book to all Indians. You will not regret reading it. #𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐚 #𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 #𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 #𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐢.
