Vastram: Splendid World of Indian Textiles- Catalog
THE SPLENDID TEXTILES OF INDIA: TRADE|COTTON| CLOTH by Shelly Jyoti2012 •
Curatorial project 2012 Published Catalogue : Indian Council of Cultural Relations ICCR , New Delhi ‘VASTRAM : THE SPLENDID WORLD OF INDIAN TEXTILES’ Indian textiles were a principal commodity in the trade of the pre-industrial age and were prized for their fineness in weave, brilliance in colour, rich variety in designs and a dyeing technology which achieved a fastness of colour unrivaled in the world. Indian cottons had achieved global reach by trade dominating world’s textile market during the sixteenth century. As a curator of this show, I had proposed to categorize the collection of 37 traditional Indian textiles and a large site specific installation in three categories of painted printed, woven-non-woven,embroidery and embellishments . Further investigated the global influences on new materials, machine spun yarn for hand loom cotton and synthetic dyes for vegetable and mineral dyes .The role of Indian government after independence as how Indian textiles sustained with new techniques, technology introduction, research on documentation and yet conserving the traditions. Curatorial Essay: The Splendid Indian Textiles: Cotton|Cloth|Culture lecture: 2012-13, Forum on Contemporary Theory ,XV International Conference Theme: “Media and Utopia: Imagination, History, Technology” Date: 16–19 December 2012 Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh India
India has been famous for its textiles from very early times as revealed by literary and archaeological evidence. Our knowledge of the fabrics themselves, however, is limited almost entirely to those produced after the 16th century. 3000 BC The discovery of a few fragments with traces of a purple dye at Mohenjodaro proves that cotton was spun and woven in India at least as early as 3000 B.C. We also know from a sculpture of that time that patterned cloths were in use even then. Lapis lazuli objects found in the settlements at Sind, Punjab, Baluchistan and Quetta indicate the existence of a network of long distance trade.

Asian Perspectives
An Immaterial Problem: Toward an Archaeology of Textiles and Textile Production in Historic South Asia2021 •
India is famous as a land of cloth. Yet for much of India's historical past, the ways textiles were made and used, and their wider cultural and societal dimensions, are poorly understood. Most of what we know about them is gleaned from texts, but they have not been studied archaeologically. This is in contrast to archaeologies of earlier pre-and proto-historic periods, which are more materially grounded and draw on a range of proxies in examining textile production. This article demonstrates that a class of artifacts usually identified and dismissed as 'beads' throughout historical periods are spindle whorls. Analyses of these whorls can tell us a great deal about textile production and the societal contexts in which textiles were made and used. I also explore constraints on the archaeological investigation of textiles and textile production in historical periods in South Asia and advocate a more artifact-oriented approach.
In the remote village of Ponduru, there survives one of India’s rare textile jewels. Traveling there to see for myself, I found quaint tools and mesmerizing skills. The spinners of Ponduru clean their cotton with combs made from the teeth of the Valuga fish. Nebulous cotton fiber from endemic Indian cotton is spun into fine thread on bicycle spokes. We find in this tradition traces that come close to the lost art of weaving Dhaka muslin. The endemic cotton, the skills of hand spinning fine uniform thread and then weaving it is on the verge of being lost. Cotton farmers are increasingly turning to high yielding commercial cotton varieties, and the younger generation prefer remunerative jobs in the city.
