Solution
Cotton
and silk textiles had a huge market in
Europe. Indian textiles were by far the most popular, both for their
fine quality and exquisite craftsmanship. Different varieties of
Indian textiles were sold in the Western markets; for example,
chintz, cossaes
or khassa,
bandanna
and jamdani.
From the 1680s, there started a craze for printed Indian cotton
textiles in England and Europe, mainly for their exquisite floral
designs, fine texture and relative cheapness.
