- Textiles, Arts & Craft
For about 3,000 years, India was the leading manufacturer of cotton textiles in the world from BC 1500 to AD 1500. Gradually, the Indian textile products earned fame and found takers in the Eastern and European markets, which evolved into huge demand during the Middle Ages.
The vibrant state of Gujarat has a rich history in the textiles industry. Ahmedabad received its first modern cotton mill in 1863 and as they say, the rest is history. Frequently termed as the Manchester of the East, Ahmedabad gave a much needed impetus to the industry and today Gujarat stands as the second largest producer of the cotton textiles in India. In fact, the state accounts for almost 8% of the country’s yarn production.
