Diversified Culture and Talent in India

India has been one of the most dynamic countries when it comes to culture.

India inherits varied and rich textile traditions traced back to the Indus Valley

civilization. The Indus Valley civilization spun cotton since at least 3000 BC, as

indicated by the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro. The earliest traces of cotton known

anywhere in the world have been found in the Valley. The people here often

used homespun cotton for weaving their cotton garments. Cotton products originating from India have also been found in many Middle East countries.

Cotton textiles were exported to China due to its high demand during the

heydays of the silk route. Indian silk was quite popular and famous in Rome in

the early centuries of the Christian era. Even as of today Indian textiles have a

great and wide market in a number of countries.

The highly skilled crafts practiced in clusters around India gives rise to diverse

and unique products influenced by culture along with tradition. Indian crafts

have been scaling from a village subculture to a precisely giant handmade

economy that inspires trends for luxury brands and fashion shows all around

the globe. Modern India is set on the path to rediscover its traditional skills and

explore the crafts that were being lost to time.
