Colour photographic illustrations, 46pp, paperback. No other land enjoys such a profusion of creative energies for the production of textiles as the sub-continent of India. The interaction of peoples - invaders, indigenous tribes, traders and exploreres - has built a complex culture legendary for its vitality and colour: today, over ten million weavers, dyers and spinners contribute their hand-made textiles to this melting pot. The special quality of the light cotton cloth, the ability to respond with alacrity and sensitivity to the demands for new designs and patterns, as well as the fast nature of the colourful dyes ensured that until the European Industrial revolution, India was the world's foremost centre of textile production.
