Since time immemorial Indian textiles, especially textiles from Bengal, were in great demand and exported to different parts of the world. Textiles from Bengal were appreciated by the Romans as early as first century ad. Numerous foreign travellers including Chinese, Portuguese, Arab and Persian, have mentioned the delicacy and beauty of Bengal textiles. From the mid-seventeenth century, there was a massive spurt in demand of cloth manufactured in Bengal, but after the British conquest of Bengal in 1757 this industry started to decline.This monograph traces the journey of Bengal textiles till its decline. Among the topics covered include accounts of the admiration for Bengal textiles from far and wide, the different types of textiles that were manufactured in Bengal, the major exporters, the major centres of production, the production system, the Dhaka muslin and the silk industry in Bengal, the procuring system that was adopted by the European / Asian merchants, the condition of the artisans who were the chief pillars of the textile industry and lastly the reasons behind the decline of the Bengal textile industry.This is the first comprehensive volume on Bengal textile industry. It is the outcome of the author’s four and a half decades of work on various aspects of Indian Ocean trade, the activities of the European companies and their impact on Indian / Bengal’s economy.Please note: This title is co-published with Manohar Publishers, New Delhi.

Merchants, Companies and Trade
Europe and Asia in the Early Modern Era

Written by well-known scholars, this book raises pertinent questions and takes up alternate perspectives on the growth and development of international trade between Europe and Asia, especially India, in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Through a comparative and comprehensive study of merchant communities, markets and commodities the individual authors argue, contrary to conventional views, that Asian merchants were in no way inferior to Europeans in terms of their commercial operations and business acumen. The book emphasizes the continuing and growing importance of India's overland trade, even in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, traces the little-known world of Armenian merchants, the hitherto obscure, but voluminous, Indian trade with the Ottoman Empire, and by unearthing new evidence, demonstrates that the export activity of Asian merchants through the overland route from Bengal was higher, in fact, than the combined total of European exports.

Based on original sources from European and Indian archives and libraries, the essays underline that Bengal had a prosperous economy in the mid-eighteenth century and was suffering from neither economic nor political crisis.

From Prosperity to Decline
Eighteenth Century Bengal

This book is an in-depth study of the eighteenth century Bengal, especially the pre-Plassey period. It tries to dispel some of the myths which persist even now. Professor Sushil Chaudhury argues that Bengal's prosperity which was so marked during the first half of the eighteenth century came to an end gradually after Plassey, and in the second half of the century there followed an economic impoverishment of the province under the aegis of the English East India Company and its servants. He contends that it is the very prosperity of Bengal, and not its decline or weakness, which made it a lucrative prize in the eyes of the Europeans in the mid-eighteenth century. He demonstrates this with a thorough analysis of Bengal's trade and industries as also the activities of the merchant-banking class in the eighteenth century. The author argues that the British conquest of Bengal was neither accidental nor was it the result of an internal crisis in Bengal.
