À propos de cet audio
The prize that European rivals fought for on the Hooghly wasn't gold or spices. It was a thread. In this episode, we journey to the heart of that legend: Shantipur.
Long before "global brands" existed, Bengal's "woven air" was India's unrivalled soft power, shaping global fashion and identity. We explore how this ancient industry wasn't just 'outcompeted' by the British Industrial Revolution—it was systematically dismantled in a geopolitical "mugging." This is a story of colonial exploitation, Gandhi's 'charkha' as a weapon of defiance, and the modern-day struggle against fast fashion. Discover how these threads, still woven today, remain one of India's most potent, untapped geopolitical tools.
